utterly lovely stay!

easy check-in neat room responsive staff backyard chair

The self check-in was so straightforward. I got the door code right away! the room was neat, i noticed that immediately. i appreciate that the staff answered my questions on whatsapp swiftly, they are responsive. the room had great light. I admired the backyard with chairs.

i must admit, the walls seemed a bit thin, i could hear some noise.

Acceptable stay with some issues

cracked light cover broken holder

The location was ideal since it was close to everything.

The shower head holder was broken in my room, so I had to hold it while showering. A lamp also did not work, and the light cover was cracked (maintenance seems lacking). The bed was squeaky. I could hear every move I made.

solid stay, great location

simple check-in maintained kitchen

The check-in process was really simple. the kitchen was well kept with amenities like a stove, pans, kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge, and freezer. It seemed like a home away from home (i appreciated that). i also found parking easy and free.

i noticed the bathroom had quite a few spiders, and the water was only lukewarm. the wifi did not work properly either, a bit frustrating. other guests knocked on the front door for 20 minutes.

Service
