I came here on the eve of the Lunar New Year holiday. They were in the middle of a New Year party. They knew I was coming so they saved a dish full of food just for me which was nice because that meal would be one of the few descent, healthy foods I would have for that entire week!... More

This place was recommended to us by a friend. As soon as we arrived we could see why. The staff are super friendly / helpful without being over the top. The rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable.
