The staff were very friendly and helpful! I found the location super convenient. It was close to everything I wanted to see. I really liked the rooms. They were beautifully decorated.
My room was a bit small. There was no chair for sitting. the shower room was really cold. It was hard to warm up after showering, and I struggled to sleep because of the cold.
