Arrived at the front desk at night, and patiently helped checkin
HU**
It is not very convenient to have no 24/7 security collar courier because they are always not at the front desk recently and everything else is fine
ZHOU**
The surrounding environment is very good, downstairs is the bus stop
CHEN**
Good environment, enthusiastic staff, recommended
Shu**
Clean and tidy. Close to the city center, the fire alarm often sounds
Wang**
Everything else is good, but the fire alarm often rings inexplicably and cannot stand it.
LI**
The fire alarm goes off four or five times a week, starting every 50 minutes, because the reception staff are often absent even during working hours.
