The hotel is a 3-star hotel! The staff offered helpful assistance, and my room was clean with everything needed. A big supermarket is close by, specifically within a 5-minute walk. I also noticed a bus stop right in front of the supermarket.
I noticed a slight smell in the hallway sometimes! the road outside seemed quite busy with traffic noise.
