central location useful kits helpful staff
the location is central, just a brief walk from major spots. the room was clean, and they offered two water bottles plus some useful kits, like a shower cap. there was enough space for my suitcase, and plenty of shelves were there. the staff helped me a lot and clarified my airport transfer quickly, so kind.
the ac wasn't strong and nights were a little bit uncomfortable, it is TRUE.
