Surprisingly Solid Stay

clean room helpful staff convenient location

The location provided easy access. It was close to many useful spots in the area. I found the room and bathroom super clean. The level of cleanliness allowed genuine relaxation, without the need to wipe everything down upon arrival. The staff member offered a warm welcome. She was helpful with directions to the bus stop.

The hotel lacked some more modern features. It could benefit from updates in certain areas.
