The location is convenient. It is close to public transportation options and several attractions. I received a room upgrade which I greatly appreciated. The staff were friendly and helpful . The provided ramp was great for managing heavy luggage.

The bathroom sliding door proved difficult to operate. It was hard to both open and close. This affected overall convenience .

The hotel is near main attractions. It is also close to a train station. The staff was very friendly and upgraded my room. The room itself was super comfy.

The hotel lacked an extra blanket in the room. The remote control did not work well. I needed to ask the reception for an iron as well.

the hotel has a very convenient location, close to transport links (i used the train station nearby). the room was clean, and it served its purpose for my short stay. i found the ramp into the building especially helpful with my luggage.

i did notice that the room seemed a bit dark (probably due to the wallpaper and lighting). it was quieter than being on the street, though.
