self-service laundryroom sizemissing storage
The self-service laundry with both a washing machine and a dryer was convenient.
The room was small and lacked storage. I found the absence of a closet or drawers quite inconvenient for organizing my belongings. There was also no TV in the room. I consider these issues significant shortcomings for a hotel.

Efficient and Modern Stay

The self check-in system worked seamlessly upon arrival. The shared kitchen was a great amenity. It had utensils and an oven. Location was advantageous, with the metro being very close. The room size was good for a single person and it felt new.
The lack of a television in the room seemed like something was missing.
