The room had plenty of space. extras like a kettle with tea and coffee. The location was close to the train station.

I was disappointed. The AC unit in the room made a lot of noise. I asked to be moved, but staff said nothing was available in the same size. A receptionist told me I would have to check out, bring my luggage to the foyer, and hope a similar room became available, though I was still traveling.
