Convenient and Well-Equipped Stay

useful microwave handy fridge comfortable bed efficient 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.
