Worth the price , convenient!
Pros:

The location and the interior was great . The room can be connected with an adjoining room, and the room layout includes one single bed and one double bed. Making it especially family-friendly for guests traveling with children.

Cons:

The buffet breakfast was nice for the price. But I would like to suggest higher cleaness for the plates. I noticed that some of the plates still have cake crumbs ir bread residues on them

性价比高，推荐。
Pros:

早餐每天都有更换菜品。房间可以看到一部分双子塔，景观很好。干净，备品充足，mini bar的饮料也会添加。下午茶的炒粉好吃，葡萄酒四点开始有。酒店会尽量满足客人的需求。员工都很和善，保安大叔很热情。门口的猫猫可爱。

Cons:

枕头可以提供两个高矮不同的，都太高了。廊灯和床头背景灯的开关需要动点儿脑子控制。位置优越，可以走路去lot10，柏威年和双子塔。但打车会经过麦当劳路口，会堵。
