decent experience

great location super comfy bed easy heating mould frame stuffy room poor cleanliness

the room included everything i needed. it was perfect for visiting nearby bars and restaurants. the heating was also easy to use and the bed felt super comfy, we loved that.

the bathroom wasn't very clean. i noticed mould all around the frame. most rooms don't have windows, so it gets stuffy. air con circulates air, but it was good. we also saw some staff helping themselves to the food. it was shocking.
