excellent locationsecure lockssmaller bed34-sized bed
The location was excellent for attending my work conference! The room featured secure locks with codes on the door.
The bed provided was not the double bed I had paid for. It was a smaller 3/4-sized bed. This detracted significantly from the comfort of my stay.

Acceptable Stay with Issues

great locationsmall roomlack of hot water
The location was great for exploring the area.
The room was quite small. There was no hot water for the first two days of my stay, affecting both the shower and taps. Only one shower towel was provided for two people during the entire three-day stay.

I was thrilled with the superb location. It was so convenient! communication about room services and parking was excellent, even without a receptionist. That was so helpful. plus, i really appreciated the complimentary drinks and treats. it's a nice touch!
I did find it a little inconvenient that there wasn't even a glass provided in the room, just to wash my teeth. It was a minor oversight. also there was not any tea and coffee milk available.
