I found the location convenient, very close to many attractions. the room size surprised me. It felt spacious. i especially appreciated the inclusion of a washer and dryer right in the room, it really helped manage laundry during my travels.
the air conditioning system was centrally controlled. i couldn't adjust the temperature to my liking and i was not comfy with it.

adequate stay, some disappointments

in-room washing machineinflexible cleaning policyproblematic air conditioning
the in-room washing machine proved very useful .
The air conditioning was problematic. It couldn't be activated when the heater was running and my only option was to open the window for cooler air, this was not ideal. also, i expected daily room cleaning and fresh towels, but this was only offered for stays longer than a week, and i stayed six days, i found that inconvenient and inflexible.

Excellent Location and Amenities

train stationstandard showerdaily towelsbasic cleaning
The hotel is near the train station.. many small restaurants are nearby. The room included a standard shower over the bath arrangement. Fresh towels were provided daily. The room has high ceilings making it feel really large.
The hotel only cleaned the room one time during my ten-night stay. They changed towels and removed garbage daily. I wish the bed was made daily and the floor vacuumed. A small room feels very different if basic cleaning is done every day.

The front desk staff helped send my luggage to the next hotel. The staff were kind at all times. They provided customers with daily essentials in a well-organized manner, a thoughtful service for travelers.
