Complimentary Room Upgrade - Yes, business class room

How are the rooms?
It was clean and pretty large

What was good and what was bad?
Good: Pretty good location - between the big tourist sections so you had to walk a bit to the main transport hubs. One could catch a bus but its just a couple blocks to touristy places. Upgraded room also included breakfast.

Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Value was great as I had a free e-certificate and the room was only 50k.
