The environment is clean and the front desk staff is polite and helpful. The only thing about the foot massage was that we could not arrange for the two ladies to massage their feet on the sofa. Instead, they decided to massage their feet in the room while lying on the bed without asking. I hope you can pay more attention to this and consult the guests first or inform the front desk in advance. ?
