The room was large enough to fully open two big suitcases. Beds were comfy and the room was very quiet, away from crowded areas.

free drinks washing machine

The hotel provided free drinks all day. A washing machine and dryer were available for guest use. This allowed us to wash clothes ..

The provided slippers were not disposable. I assumed they cleaned them between guests.

tasty drinks comfortable spaces on-site laundry uncomfortable bed poor cleaning

I found the free drinks quite good, also very tasty. I appreciated all the daily amenities provided by the hotel. The public spaces were comfortable. I found the on-site laundry facilities particularly convenient.

The bed was not very comfortable to me. I had to climb over my partner to get to the other side of the bed. The room cleaning seemed not very well done. I found the staff were inflexible when I requested assistance.
