The service staff is not friendly. The girl’s room is on the top floor where the elevator cannot reach. It is very difficult for me to carry large luggage, and the room is very stuffy. There are too many rooms and doors. It is very difficult to escape the fire. The fire alarm sounds at 4am, ambulance The car came, but there was no fire, very bad check-in experience.

Check in was very efficient. Sufficient information given. The building is large and a bit confusing but helpful coloured signage resolves that. They offer evening activities to encourage the visitors to mingle. Bbq was the first one and free!
