"Everything was there. Transit station, night life, shopping market, restaurants and more. Breakfast was self served. Laundry machines. Staff was very helpful. We locked our keys in the room and no one was around. But we followed the instructions on the door to contact them and the got us a key through the kiosk. Only weird thing for us was the toilet is in the shower. Other than that it was cool. Thank you for the experience"
