The room I got was spacious and very clean. I liked the fridge provided. It was super useful. Staff members were very friendly. They helped me with directions.

I saw great home cooked evening meals in the restaurant. The smells were amazing. Breakfast service is not in place, but a nice cafe across the street provides that service. It opens at 9:30 each morning.
