Compact and Clean Stay

central locationcompact roomquality foodsmall room

The location is central. It is a couple of blocks away from the main action. The room was compact. It was thoughtfully designed. The room was spotlessly clean. The room was comfortable. I dined at the main-floor restaurant a few times. The food and drinks had quality.

The rooms were too small for two people. There is no lobby so there is no seats. You couldn't wait for anyone. The reception was automated with machines. It required a member of staff to run it.
