great location and helpful staff!

helpful staffnice facilitiessupermarket proximityoutdated exterior
The staff were helpful when we needed transport information. They told us where to go. the facilities were nice! we enjoyed our stay. facilities near the hotel included bakeries and supermarkets. These added convenience.
The exterior appearance does not match the modern photos online. It looked older. the reception area felt small and dark upon arrival. This made for an initial negative impression.
