convenient locationhelpful staffteacoffee kettlebasic roomthin wallsno air conditioning
The location is close to the underground station. This made travel straightforward. Staff members were helpful when i needed directions. A kettle with tea and coffee in the room was a nice, unexpected touch.
The room i had was quite basic and could use an update. The walls seemed thin. I could hear noises from other rooms. There was no air conditioning, and the room became warm at night.
