The location proved ideal for accessing the temple. I found it very easy to catch a dance show. A walk around the lake was also very convenient. The staff arranged a cake for my partner's birthday and sang happy birthday. This personal touch was nice. The building has colonial style and a grand restaurant.
The traffic noise was a bit intrusive. Sleep did not come easy.
