the staff seemed kind and helpful i really appreciated that. they even assisted me with calling a cab in the morning. the hotel was quiet and spacious too
the bathroom was small and i found the toilet positioned too close to the shower. the shower drain seemed partially blocked causing a small pool of water to form after showering. the room was clean but the furniture looked old fashioned and could use a refresh
