I
am now an official Agoda fan. It's the first place I look when I needed
a place to stay in a local and foreign destination. You will definitely
love tons of choices from 5-star to recommended ones in here. I am not
affiliated with Agoda, I just registered and signed in. I would
definitely recommend it though.







The place I chose to check-in was a condominium/hotel. 4.5 stars. Chatrium has 4 buildings If I remember it right. Quite far from the crowded city but it sure was peaceful. The 9th floor gave us an exquisite landscape view. We had 2 rooms adjacent to each other since I have failed to get adjoining rooms. The rooms are large and have comfy beds with clean sheets everyday. Since this is also a condo type rooms, the rooms is equipped with a refrigerator, electric kettle, kitchen and some cooking utensils.

Complete amenities, swimming pool, gym, bar, restaurant and the best breakfast buffet I had so far in a hotel. They cater various kinds from oatmeal, fruits, pastries and even local foods such as noodles and soups.
My
research found the hotel was just 10 minutes away from the skytrain but since I'm
with my folks, we can't be on a commute. The hotel staffs are okay, not too
friendly but are approachable and speaks good English.

I am more hesitant to take photos outdoors especially if there's people around. As a result, there's no way I'm seeing things in the view finder in symmetry and there's always no better angle. I know sometimes, I just need a deep breath and just take it. These photos expresses this manner and I am not happy with it. Vignetting is also very bad, I was still using the the DX format lens on an FX DSLR.
