The room was very clean. I also found the location very convenient, as it was within walking distance of restaurants and the central business district. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options.
The air conditioner did not function correctly. I could not regulate the temperature. No milk was available in the room for tea or coffee. The provided toiletries had a strong smell, reminiscent of wet hay.
