Acceptable Stay, Some Drawbacks

room size self check-in missing staff reception desk

The room size suited my needs well. It was also clean, which I value. I found the self check-in process to be fast. The hotel provided warmth and quiet.

The hotel lacked staff. I found no one present to address any concerns. The absence of a reception desk.

smooth check-in coffee facilities

The rooms were very clean. That detail pleased me.

The self check-in process was not smooth. I did not get the door code until check-in time and I had no wifi. I had to ask another guest for help. The room lacked tea and coffee facilities. This was unacceptable
