the check-in was smooth with door codes sent by message. the hotel looked clean throughout.
the shower's water pressure was insufficient. it barely trickled out, not providing an adequate washing experience. this made basic hygiene a challenge.

Fantastic Stay, Highly Recommend

equipped kitchenshopsdrivewaygood location
The communal kitchen was fully equipped. I found everything I needed to cook meals. There are also shops close by. I liked that I could park on the driveway. The location is good as it is close to cafes and restaurants.
The room was upstairs, it made carrying suitcases a bit difficult.
