solid value, good location

essential amenitiesquick check-inample spacetea facility absence
The location is convenient as it is close to essential amenities and provides easy access to various destinations. the check-in process was quick and simple. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. the room had ample space. It was super clean and cozy with necessary amenities for a short visit.
The absence of tea and coffee facilities in the room was a minor inconvenience. It would have been nice to have these available for personal use. the shower was small, and the water pressure was low making it difficult to properly wash.
