Recommend adding daily breakfast at the time of booking to receive a discount on price of the breakfast. There's also a Lawson convenience store on site which has a good selection of drinks, snacks and souvenirs. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle and a free shuttle to the nearby Aeon Shopping Mall. There's also a coin operated self-service Guest Laundromat if you need to do laundry during your stay. Overall great place to stay. Highly recommend this hotel."
