I've heard alot good thing about this motel, it did not fail me and actually beyond my expectations. Requested for the 赤壁 room, Totally worth for a night as a couple to try out this amazingly spacious stays. The hot tub with 32inch TV.. I got no word to describe. The air conditional working great even with such a large room, unlike some other motel I've visited. If able to check in earlier will be perfect!
