satisfactory experience overall
convenient locationcomplimentary waternew facilitiesfaulty designsink problemmissing water
the location was convenient because it was near train stations. there were also convenience stores nearby. they provided complimentary bottled water daily even if there was already a cup in the room (i really appreciated this). the bed and facilities felt new.
the main light switch turned off all the lights. i could not turn the bedside lights on since they were connected to the main switch. i found this design faulty. the sink drain hole had problems. there were no instructions if the tap water was drinkable, nor was bottled water provided.

the self-service machines made check-in and check-out quick and easy..
The room felt cramped as a small corner room. the air conditioning blew directly down from the top, which i did not like. also, the housekeeper messed up my room during cleaning. That was unacceptable. there were also not enough hooks or shelves for toiletries, a serious oversight.
