1. Breakfast is good. Very healthy, yummy fruits & juice. 2. Old old place. The main hotel entrance looks nice compared from the room conditions ; carpets are old, no water ( only water bottle -> so you have to go to the lobby to get the water from water tap ), sink basin water was very slow down, smells like hot spring, and so on. 3. Free parking. Pretty empty hotel when I visited
