All staffs we encountered were very friendly and made us feel welcomed except the check-in/out receptionists. The lobby at the time of check-out was crowded, and there's no clear waiting line for the check-in/check-out desk queue, a receptionist just stood there, and not providing any information or instruction to the guests the queue of the line. Bellmen were much more helpful and provided us the accurate and needed information about the area. The reception staffs need more training. Room is clean but furniture and paint seemed outdated and can use a bit touch-up. Location is convenient.
