the hotel location proved very convenient with transport stops nearby. accessing key areas was simple and there were coffee shops right outside. my room was simple, clean and updated. i found the staff to be very friendly.
The room lacked a full closet. It only had a short pole with a few hangers, not ideal for longer stays. a proper closet would enhance the room's functionality.
