basic stay downtown

convenient location helpful staff practical ports
the location proved very convenient, offering easy access to nearby restaurants. the 24 hour reception offered peace of mind, especially with late arrivals. the staff was always ready to help. i appreciate the usb ports located on both sides of the bed, this was very practical.
a long staircase leads to checkin, it does not have an elevator for luggage, so i had to carry heavy bags up.
