The food is really delicious. The seafood is very fresh, and the chicken is fried very fragrant. The salt bread in the set meal is very tasty, and I forgot to ask if I could buy it directly ๐Ÿ˜†

A shop run by a few young people. The ingredients are fresh, and they explain the ingredients and preparation methods with each dish. The special chili is also very tasty. The service is excellent ๐Ÿ‘

Overall, it's not bad. The breakfast is very special, all vegetarian, and the dishes change every day, which is different from other hotels. I enjoyed the food very much. The only drawback is that there's only one parking space, but they subsidize the daily parking fee of $60 (the local daily maximum is $60), so it's the same as not having to pay for parking. You just have to rely on luck to find a parking space. I went to Hua Xin to buy souvenirs (because of the snacks provided by the hotel) and found out that it's the same owner. There's also a Hua Xin Hotel that's owned by the same person. Thank you for the hospitality these 5 days.

The room size is also very suitable for three to four friends traveling together, not crowded. It's a pity the toilet only has a shower. If you don't purchase breakfast, you might consider a discount voucher. Although the portion sizes of the meals aren't huge, they are very delicious.

Affordable prices and parking spaces right outside the door, so rental car parking is easily solved. There's a gym upstairs and a FamilyMart next door for purchasing necessities.

There's a Starbucks downstairs, massage services (24 hours), and a shuttle bus available. The vending machines on the fifth floor require a card. Full of surprises. The breakfast is average; I wouldn't recommend adding it.
