In terms of value for money at $175 per night compared to other studio motels we've stayed before at this price range, it's overpriced given its location (doesn't seem safe) and the poor quality of the room (doesn't smell nice and clean, it's dark, cheap curtain, and the floor area is too small for a studio).

Shopping expo.
Stay with my daughters and granddaughters (8) we were given 3 rooms and did not have to share beds.The gardens are so beautiful and the very short walk to shops simply the best.
We will be return guests.
