Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very nice, spacious and well maintained by staff with two exceptions: - the AC is centrally managed and the duct points directly at the heads of people in both beds at night. This results in the need to contact staff to turn down or completely off the AC at night for some (like my family had to do) - the double shower had a drain that would back up if both showers ran high volumes of water.

Leanne

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with very friendly reception staff, and the location is excellent - easy to access everything nearby. Unfortunately, the room itself was a letdown. It was extremely small, with a very uncomfortable bed, making it difficult to relax. While the bathroom was modern and visually appealing, it lacked basic practicality - there was no space to put a toiletry bag and not even a hook to hang towels or clothing. Overall, despite the great location and service, the room felt cramped and uncomfortable, which impacted the stay.

I liked that this place had daily house keeping and a refrigerator in the room. There's also a cappuccino machine downstairs by the lobby where you can get your morning coffee for free. The room was very very very small. If you're traveling alone, this room would be fine. There is no coffee machine or kettle in the room. There is no iron in the room, but you can borrow one from the front desk. There is no laundry room in the hotel.

Room was super small- we were 2 people with 1 suitcase barely fit. No more than 2 feet between bed and wall on 1 side and bed and bathroom on the other. A person on the bath side of the bed couldn’t get out of bed unless the door was shut. No room amenities- no place to hang towels. Room was street facing with only a shear curtin. Room was lit all night. Would not recommended for anyone other than a solo traveler with a small bag.
