spacious and convenient stay

amazing spacefriendly staffroom number
I was happy with the space i had. it included a whole kitchenette area and a walk-in closet. hanging all my clothes up to preserve ironing was finally possible. This made my life easier! the desk staff was friendly and helpful, offering an early check-in.
the room lacked a number, though it was connected to two queen beds. i booked a single queen bed room! plus, the cleaning lady and a male companion were quite noisy in another room early in the morning.
Rooms
9/10
the room was spacious and well-equipped. it had comfortable beds! the pillows allowed a great night's sleep, and the hotel has a pillow program. the rooms are recently renovated, and the king-size bed had a thin duvet.
