great locationlimited spacecentralized thermostat
the location was great, near a bus stop and a convenience store.
The room felt quite cramped. There wasn't enough space to comfortably open luggage. it was difficult to manage our belongings. the centrally controlled thermostat made the room uncomfortably warm. There was no way to cool it down, even with the thermostat off.

impressed with the hotel near the station

great locationeasy accessconvenient storepizza delivery
i found the location very good with a short walk to the station. entrances on both sides of the building made access easy. i appreciated the 7-eleven right next door. dominos pizza delivered to my room when i was tired.
The room had almost no natural light. It was a very small space for me.

the hotel is approximately a five-minute walk from the main train station, which i found convenient. entrances located on opposite sides of the building allowed easier navigation to different areas. the convenience store beside the hotel offered quick access to necessities.
Facilities
