easy check-ingreat facilities

the check-in process was straightforward. i found the access information easy to follow. kitchen facilities were great. i walked easily to the city center and downtown, not needing public transportation after arriving. it is great for short stays or day trips as bus pick-up points are very accessible.

the showerhead was broken, causing water to splash everywhere, and made showering a bit difficult.
