the location was indeed convenient. i found the laundry services included a nice touch, detergent was even supplied. this made it easy to freshen up my belongings after a week of travel.

The self check-in felt impersonal even though i was informed. i understand the desire for efficiency, still i prefer some human interaction. the works in the neighboring building were noticeable starting at 8:00. The noise was substantial.

The location was perfect for exploring local restaurants. The mobile app was convenient for accessing the room.

Unfortunately, the room was too warm. There was no air conditioning, so even with the provided fan, the room remained uncomfortably hot. This made it difficult to sleep well. the lack of daily housekeeping was a bit surprising. It would have been nice if someone had emptied the trash or refreshed the towels .
