surprisingly pleasant stay!

comfortable beds helpful staff

I found a very large room, it included comfortable beds and amenities like water, an ice machine, coffee, and a vending machine. the neighborhood felt quiet in the late hours and early mornings. the staff were helpful whenever i needed information. I appreciated that a lot.

walking up those steps to enter the lobby was difficult after a long day. it was a bit of a challenge, and i think a more accessible entrance would improve the experience.

Service

The staff members were helpful. They provided information when asked. their assistance. the team's commitment to guest satisfaction was evident during my interactions.

small room dated room

The location was acceptable because i could walk to many places.

The room was shockingly small, and it felt dated. There was not space to put a suitcase.. moreover the small double bed was against the wall, directly under the air con unit.
