Clean and Convenient Stay

easy check-ingood facilitiesprovided toiletriesmissing window
The check-in was easy! Good facilities were available. Toiletries were provided in the room. The location is easily accessible by underground lines.
The room had no windows, so I was unsure of the weather outside. It also felt a bit stuffy.
