My experience had a few hiccups. The air conditioning barely worked. The room was stuffy. Hallway noises were loud! making it difficult to relax, and the cleanliness in the bathroom left MUCH to be desired.

The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I found the free coffee and water in the lobby a nice touch, especially after long days exploring. My room had all the necessary amenities for a short trip. The hotel is located very close to the train station..
The elevator was quite small, it made me feel a little claustrophobic.
