convenient location helpful staff room cleanliness insufficient supplies
The location was convenient to many attractions. the staff was very efficient and friendly as well. special thanks goes to elina. I found her helpful.
my room needed some improvements. the overall cleanliness seemed a bit tired, and a thorough overhaul was necessary. there was no designated space for the kettle and cups, and the supply of tea and coffee was insufficient. milk was also missing for the initial days of my stay.
