    “Clean hotel”

    Since my flight is at 11 PM before departure, I found this hotel while looking for a clean place to stay and doing some shopping at the immigration mall. After shopping at Imago Mall, I can rest until departure and then it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get to the airport! I'm quite satisfied.
