Staying at this hotel was quite a unique experience. The proximity to the Red Garden food court and other restaurants within a short walk was convenient. The historical ambiance of the old hundred years house adds charm, and the staff recommended local dining options like Hong Kee, where we enjoyed the traditional cuisine. However, the dark room with blocked windows made it slightly disorienting, lacking natural light connection. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, though the fan was noisy and there was a slight paint smell.
