The room was really cool and it was about a 5 min walk to line 2. The room is well equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Overall staff were lovely.

When I arrived my Alipay was not working, I had asked for an ATM, but one of the staff members insisted I change my cash with him, only to discover there is an item in the lobby. Did not appreciate the dishonesty.

Good location, close to the places I wanted to go

Stayed ten years ago, had a good impression, but this time the facilities are clearly old. The cleanliness of the changing rooms in the swimming pool needs to be improved. The family room I booked turned out to be a double room with an extra bed, the extra bed mattress was very uncomfortable, and the child did not sleep well. The price was higher than a double room with an extra bed, which is a bit unreasonable.
