a mixed stay at best

small roomconstant noise
The room was small. I seemed like i was in a closet. the lack of space made it difficult to relax. also, the noise from the nearby street was constant and quite disruptive. sleeping was a challenge due to the noise and cramped conditions.

charmed by my stay

helpful staffeasy luggagetrain stationuseful ramppoor air conditioning
The front desk staff were very helpful. leaving my luggage prior to check-in was easy. the hotel is super close to the train station (it's less than a minute away!), which i used a lot. i found a ramp too. It helped a lot with my luggage.
the air conditioning barely worked. the room was quite hot all night (even with the ac on full blast!). it made sleeping a bit tough.

the hotel provides complimentary apples . there is also good wifi available throughout the premises. a short walk takes you to the underground station, and a bus stop sits right across the street from the entrance.
