Solid Choice Near Town Center
clean room friendly staff walking distance
The room was modern and very clean. Staff members were friendly. Its location allowed me to walk to locations I wanted to visit.
The room was small, and noise from the adjacent room was audible. I think a better soundproofing should be considered.
