great location solid comfort friendly staff
The location is great. I appreciated the cleanliness of the room. The beds provided solid comfort, ensuring a good night's sleep. The staff acted friendly and helpful ..
The soundproofing needs improvement. I could hear a lot of noise from the corridor and other rooms. Doors slamming and conversations were easily audible. This made it hard to relax at times.
