adequate stay with some issues
small room visible mold
The room size was disappointing. to reach the other side of the bed, i had to shuffle sideways behind it. this proved inconvenient, especially when needing the restroom at night. furthermore, i observed dust and visible mold in the bathroom. Though the bathroom was spacious and the shower was quite satisfactory.

comfortable bed coffee maker large shower road noise building work broken facility
I stayed in a large double room! it had a coffee maker for a great morning boost. the bed, wow, it was so comfortable. i enjoyed the large shower room. It was definitely a plus.
The road noise was quite loud, i must say. building work occurred in the room above me. this woke me up early in the morning. It was a bit disruptive. also, the online check-in facility didn't work. I was told this upon arrival.
