The room was clean and well laid out. I appreciated the spacious, modern shower. there were also basic, tasty dinner options available at a good price!!!

The noise from the streets was a problem. I found it hard to open the window because of traffic, even at night. the white parts of the furniture were not completely white. The bathroom faucets and similar parts were not sparkling.
