The staff was very friendly. The room was spotlessly clean. The beds provided great comfort. Breakfast had nice choices. The walk to the main part was easy and the bus station was a fifteen-minute walk away.

The room was large. There were two good pillows on each bed that felt comfortable. The bathroom could use some updates, YET it had a hairdryer and toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs in a package on the sink.

The bed was very hard. i also found it uncomfortable. i heard the neighbors. That was annoying. i heard some kind of machine noise from the outside too.
