Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King Standard Room, Received Three Single Beds Standard Room City View High Floor.

This hotel has only 4 room categories, Queen Bed Standard, King Bed Standard, Two Single Beds Standard, and Three Single Beds Standard. Most of them are around 18sqm. Three Single Beds Standard Room is 36sqm.



How are the rooms?
This hotel is just reflagged from Japanese local hotel chain. Former hotel opened in May 2019, however due to COVID, hotel has been closed just 10 months. Therefore everything looks new. However, this hotel will have massive renovation to suits Holiday Inn Express brand standard from April to October 2022.

So, this room design is temporary one.
