Compact but Convenient Stay

friendly service amazing cleanliness quiet room
The reception staff provided friendly and helpful service. I appreciated the cleanliness throughout the hotel. My room was surprisingly quiet. I heard no noise from outside or other guests. The 24-hour bar was a definite plus.
I found limited space to place luggage in the room. At night, it was piled near the door. I found it a potential fire hazard.
Rooms
8/10
My room included good towels, shower gel, and shampoo. The bed was very comfortable. it was quite small and well-suited for short stays of only a few nights.
Dining
9/10
There was a cheese buffet that featured an excellent selection. Coffee available at the bar area tasted the best. I thought the bar area downstairs was a bonus.
