helpful staffconvenient bus stopcleanlinessuncontrolled heatingheavy windowsmall space
the staff were very helpful. the bus stop location proved convenient. the room provided silence and cleanliness. working television was available along with good wifi connection.
The heating could not be controlled, it was a bit too warm for my liking. the window proved too heavy for me to open easily. i found it overpriced for the quality of the space. It felt very small.

The staff were cute. I received assistance with early check-in, which i appreciated. The location is very convenient with bus lines nearby. I also found several food places and cafes in proximity.
I had some trouble opening the window in my room. It was quite heavy.

charming stay!

friendly staffclean roomgreat teauseful questionnaire
The staff was very friendly. As soon as you crossed the threshold, i seemed like i was visiting close friends. well kept. The room had everything i needed. i was pleased with the choice of tea, coffee, and milk. a questionnaire was available if you had any comments or ideas. i didn't need it.
the neighborhood did not have many things to do nearby, but that was okay. the room was small, maybe a little overpriced, but it was perfectly fine for a short stay.
