The following was captured from a Cantonese movie probably in the 1960s. The hotel was constructed as a six-story building in 1947.  Each room has a bathroom, hot and cold water. There is also a lift. The owner was Mr. Fung Yat Cho. The hotel is adjacent to "Gogeda Food & Drinks Night Club". It was opened in 1947-2-9.
