The staff were friendly and welcoming, but they could benefit from having better knowledge about the local area, such as public transport options and what’s happening around the city. The room was nice and clean, and the bathroom and toilet were well maintained. However, the air conditioning vents need cleaning, and it’s a good idea to check the bed sheets before going to sleep.
