hotel is in separated commercial area so no shops or restaurants, the hotel is setup for you to eat at the hotel, there are a few local shops on other side of rail bit very limited and you need to know where, air conditioning is fixed even though room has controls, oh there is a Starbucks in another commercial building nearby so that helps, really to sum it up.... no shopping, no outside food, far away from western mainstream so it's used more for overnight tourist buses, it comes with a completely empty kitchen with no plates cutlery pots etc so don't rely on cooking yourself, they do sell plastic plates and forks as a token option, so again it's setup for buses and bus packages,
