Excellent choice for the independent traveler who does not need a lot of hand-holding. You must email your ID two days before your arrival. The will then send you the code to access the building and your room keys. The is a very small one-person elevator. The building is old, but well maintained, and the room was very nicely updated. Air conditioning is very powerful and quiet. TV worked fine, with lots of channels, but only a few in English (BBC News, Al Jazeera, NHK World). I could not get the English subtitles to work, but that was the case at most other hotels where I stayed. Just had to rely on my tablet to get my MSNBC fix. Internet was fast. Rain shower was great with lots of hot water. Never heard a sound the two days I was there, except the clearer who came around 11am. I freaked a little the first time I tried to leave the room. The door knob to the stairwell needed to be turned three times before it opened. You will hear the three locks engage when it closes (made me feel very secure). I noticed there were also Red and White Ribbon hotels nearby. I was impressed by their operation.
