convenient locationparking voucherflexible check-in
the location is really convenient, only a short bus ride to the city center. the hosts offered parking vouchers for nearby streets. i also appreciated the flexibility with check-in, AS I was able to keep my bags there after checking out.
the shower temperature controls were a bit sensitive and difficult to adjust.

I found the hotel conveniently located near smaller shops. My room was smaller, yet clean. Breakfast included cereal, juice, and yogurt, just enough to start the day. Check-in involved a phone call for door access, which worked efficiently.
