The traditional hotel's style impressed me! The staff demonstrated immense friendliness and helpfulness. The location was excellent. It was a tranquil spot not too far from the city center. The laundry facilities were very convenient.
The room service was only once every three days under eco stay, and I wish I had known this at check-in.
