the staff were friendly.
The room felt quite dated. The furniture really needs an update. i also noticed some cobwebs, which wasn't ideal. the bathroom, although functional, could definitely use some modernization.

the room i got were lovely and modern. the bathroom were large. the bed felt comfortable and a good sized tv came with netflix. it provides plenty drawers to unpack your belongings.
the carpet looked dirty, also the room are small. floorboards creaked a lot which meant i hear people in rooms walk throughout the night. i think they should do something about it.
