convenient and clean stay
clean room heating air conditioning pleasant staff
the room featured both heating and air conditioning, i found it quite convenient. the beds provided comfort, (a key factor for a good night's rest, in my opinion), and the staff members were pleasant and helpful. i found the central location quite convenient.
i noticed the hallway carpet looked a bit grubby, not the best first impression. it was a very minor issue and didn't affect my stay significantly, but i felt it was worth mentioning.
