My stay was quite pleasant overall. The room, although a bit on the small side, was very clean and had a big kingsize bed, but lacked a proper desk for work. The staff was super friendly and provided great assistance. The location, while not in the city center, was convenient with easy access to transportation. The dining options were above standard but a bit limited for the price paid.
