central location with comfortable rooms

nice roomeasy check-inprompt communicationfaulty showerhead
the room was very nice it belied the rather scruffy exterior and street. self check in was easy and i did not have to carry a key with me. the hosts were very prompt with their communications and clear in their instructions on how to find the hotel and how to access it.
there was no staff to contact if anything went wrong the whole thing was very impersonal. the shower head needs fixing.
