"The staff are friendly and helpful. We were scammed by airport taxi driver more than 3-4x of regular price. The staff took care of it right away, asking if we’d like to file police report. We did, and the staff put all efforts to contact police, getting CCTV to identify driver, and accompanying us to police station. Every thing was resolved within 2 hours, amazing. The Chef, I think Daug, was really nice giving me wonton soup and mixed all sauces together make it good. I tried mixing my own sauces, not as good as he did lol. The location is connected to shopping mall and downstairs metro station with lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel staff service and location is excellent. Recommend this hotel to stay."
