A great experience in the city

friendly staff handy location

I found the room spacious and very clean. The staff was also very friendly and helpful with directions. I appreciated that the hotel is close to transport links and various stores. It made getting around the area simple.

The room was small for all my luggages, there was barely space to open my suitcase without blocking the way. I think that the rooms would be benefit from better organization. I think a little more space would be really nice.

Dining

9/10

I noticed a variety of dining options near the building and that is very useful. There is a store that opens 24/7 just around the corner. The possibilities of close supermarkets makes the area practical.

Service

Average stay. Some issues noted

adjustable air conditioning cigarette smell

i wasn't too happy about the air conditioning! i couldn't adjust it in the room. the staff provided fans upon request, but it still wasn't enough to keep me cool at night. also, even though it's supposed to be a non-smoking hotel, there was a noticeable cigarette smell in the lobby and hallways. it's fortunate my room didn't smell, but it was still noticeable.
