The breakfast offered a fresh and good start. everything was newly prepared. Plastic packaging was absent. a nearby secure parking option provided peace of mind for our motorbikes. we enjoyed good wifi connectivity throughout our stay.

the shower lacked a proper barrier to contain water. this oversight resulted in the bathroom floor becoming quite wet after each use. a prompt repair would .

odd sink locationshower privacy

The room design was quite strange. The sink was actually located in the main room, next to the bed (i found this odd). the shower opened directly into the room. This setup lacked some privacy.

The location was very convenient. It provided easy access to the intermodal station. I found that the room felt spacious, and I appreciated that detail so much. The staff were very cute, and I felt so happy.

The breakfast area felt a bit cramped. This detracted slightly from the experience.
