The hotel is good especially the day time front desk is very helpful. He recommended the tours were excellent. But there were two points I didn't like. First, the hotel doesn't allow the escorts come in. It's very inconvenient for me. I am a single but still have that desires. The girls here are pretty and inexpensive. I have to find the other ways to see girls. Second, the bathroom has a little smells. Even though the housekeeper can remove it but it would appears again next days.

Rude staff at reception. Told they were overbooked and after we rejected to change hotel magically a room appeared. The room was tiny, impossible to move there. But the worst part was the noise. It was impossible to sleep there, it looked like the walls were made of paper. Terrible stay.
