Convenient and comfortable downtown stay

convenient locationexcellent shoppingseveral restaurants

I appreciated the convenient location with the public bus stop right outside. Airport transportation was easy. The nearby Lotte Duty Free provided excellent shopping (i actually bought a watch!). Several restaurants in the area made dining out simple.

The room temperature was a little too warm for me at night. I couldn't seem to cool it down effectively.
