JOU YUN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The place is nice overall, it's at a prime location. However their beds creaks!!!! Also the whole place only has 2 washing machines and 2 dryers. If the place is full probably close to 100 people staying the laundry efficiently not enough. It's not a hard no but I'll not stay at Haka if there's other reasonable options in the area.
