clean and convenient stay

large room single bed late check-in reception service

i had a large room equipped with three single beds. the room offered ample space and included a working television. i appreciated the late check-in at 1:30 am and the 24/7 reception service. the reception staff were cute, very helpful after a long journey.

i observed some minor issues with the shower. it seemed to have a small leak, which caused some dampness overnight. this was a small inconvenience.
