Sleepless night
Unfortunately I was in room 308 which is next to the flag. I think it’s the flag that was making that noise, so with every gust of wind it was like a fun shot and in between the gunshot it was like a cage was being rolled back and forth in the room next door. Not sure why this rooms allowed to be used if there’s a high wind. To say I was tired for work the next day is an understatement, only stayed so I could be fresh and hit work quicker.

Not recommended, poor experience
Small sized room compacted like a ghetto. Lift was not working, had to take steps with luggage to go to third floor. Request for a lower floor rejected perhaps since this was not a direct booking. Breakfast quality not adequate to match the price. Overall a very poor experience.
