The breakfast was alright, but nothing special. my room, the economy king room bath or shower, felt a bit worn. the location was decent, though the walk back at night was a little scary because there weren't any lights. I had to grab a taxi since it was too dark to walk! the lack of lighting made it a bit inconvenient.
