helpful staff hot water transport ticket

the staff at the front desk were very helpful, providing maps and restaurant recommendations. i appreciated the availability of a hot water decanter for making coffee and tea. the hotel gave me a travel qr code ticket, this allowed me to use public transport around the area. the central station was an easy walk.

the air conditioning did not work well . the room felt stuffy and i had trouble getting comfortable. the hotel seemed a bit outdated.
