Hotel
The hotel is very dated, the room I stayed is very clean with very limited furniture. The bathroom is small but they provide all the necessary items and will replace towels every day.

Interesting place
Stayed as a couple. Interior design is special. The room starts to look a bit worn out. Good space for luggages.
Loved the free snacks/cup noodles by the reception/elevator. It gives you the opportunity to try some snacks you do not usually buy.

clean, spacious, safe
location wise, it walkable to both formosa boulevard station & central park station.
room is spacious n clean overall, comfortable stay. I liked that it quiet plc.
I noted the coffee table n desk showed sign of wear and tear, theres even burnt mark n stained on coffee table. I guess thats the drawback of using white furnitures.
most hotels I stayed have got a safe, however, there isn’t one in this hotel.
