Comfort stay

It was located nicely opposite the mall, which has plenty to shop. But there was road work directly outside the hotel, making it hard to detour and park. The guy at check-in counter was very helpful, even helped us to park the car. Good customer service.

Clean hotel as well as conveniently located

The reception, Helen, is helpful and understanding. I wanted to extend the stay until 6pm but unfortunately it was full. I have a raw salmon to take back to HK which they were very kind to freeze it for me until 6pm. The ambiance is very comfy.
