5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'open box spring' bed frames are dust magnets—check under the bed if you have allergies.
💡Lighting in the rooms is moody/dim; great for vibes, bad for doing makeup.
💡The 'virtual key' app can be glitchy; always ask for a physical key card as a backup.
💡There is no bar on-site, despite the 'lounge' description—it's BYOB or go out.
💡The elevator is slow; take the stairs if you're on a lower floor.
