the location was prime, i could just walk to attractions nearby. my room was clean and the amenities seemed modern. the staff was mostly friendly, and i appreciate that i didn't had issues during check-in.

the room turned out smaller than i thought, especially given the price i payed. the shower made a squealing noise. the water pressure was low too. i wish there was cold water available at the lobby, it would be convenient.

I got to check in early, so convenient. The customer service was super friendly. the location was great, i walked to most places and a tram stop was super close.

The room i had was just so tiny. There was nowhere to actually open my suitcase fully except on the bed. the room was just too small and not really practical, not gonna lie.
