compact stay!

convenient location helpful staff comfortable bed

i found the location convenient! the staff was quite helpful and very kind. the room was functional, and i appreciated the complimentary water provided. the bed was comfortable, and the room was quiet, assuring me sound sleep.

my room was a bit small, and there wasn't enough space to open my luggage comfortably. there also wasn't a plug in the bathroom, so i had to use the hairdryer in the bedroom, a slight inconvenience.

Good location but minor issues

great location helpful staff clean room small room limited storage firm bed

The location was excellent for accessing many sites. Staff members were friendly and helpful at all times. The room was clean upon arrival and well kept .

The room size was smaller than expected. Storage space in the room was quite limited and inconvenient. The bed felt firmer than I prefer, affecting sleep quality.
