helpful staff free snacks modern design tiny room no windows smoke smell

The staff were friendly and helpful. I received free snacks, drinks, and water. The hotel's design was comfortable and modern. The location provided great value for money.

My room was tiny. It had no windows. My room was next to a sectioned-off smoking area, so the smell of weed and smoke drifted through.
