the location suited my needs very well and free parking was available. that was a huge plus.
my room was far from ideal. the shower's water pressure was weak, and the temperature remained stuck on scalding. also, the bed was so uncomfortable, i could feel every metal spring through the thin sheet.

Convenient and Well-Equipped Stay

useful microwavehandy fridgecomfortable bedefficient process
The room included a microwave and a fridge, proving very helpful for quick meals. I found multiple plugs were available, along with plates, cutlery, tea, sugar, and milk. Check-out at 11 am allowed for a relaxed morning, and I appreciated the free luggage storage. The self-check-in and check-out process was straightforward and efficient. The room was surprisingly spacious, maintained well, and the bed offered great comfort for restful nights.
Sound insulation was somewhat lacking. Noise from the hallways was noticeable.
