The service at the front desk was attentive, and check-in was QUICK. The room's cleanliness was excellent. It was super clean. I also liked that there were many nearby restaurants and public transport options available.
The room I had was quite small. I barely had enough space to move around. I experienced an issue with my key card not working properly. It needed to be reset multiple times , frustrating.
