The common areas are beautiful and clean
The socket on my bed did not work, it was very hot in the room and the boxes where I leave personal belongings are very noisy

The facilities here are comprehensive, with many lounges and playrooms. The people here are very friendly; I met many friends from different countries here. I will definitely come again next time.
The charging port by the bed is a little loose.
