clean roomconvenient locationenglish speaking staffindividual key
i liked this hotel! the rooms are very clean and i found it very helpful that towels and toothbrushes are available on each floor. the central location is convenient for exploring. the staff speaks english fluently. breakfast at the sister hotel was a delicious perk, and luggage storage with individual keys ensured belongings are safe.
The bathroom sink area could be brighter. I noticed a stained lamp shade, and there was no knife or cutting mat in my room.
