Simple and clean hotel popular with tourists

The lobby area is quite dark with little natural lighting, and it's decorated with dark carpet and a beige suede sofa set. The breakfast room is laid out in a structured manner, with glass walls covered in full-length white blinds, low hanging white light fittings, and large art pieces on the walls. The Lobby Bar is a bit more casual, though it lacks much character. The range of amenities and convenient location make this hotel popular with both leisure and business travelers.
