Excellent Value and Perfect Spot

on-site parking self-serve breakfast spacious bedroom
I appreciated the ability to park right outside the hotel. Breakfast included a self-serve setup, complete with cereals, juice, milk, and pastries. My bedroom was spacious and had all necessary amenities.
I noticed a very slight old smell in the building, probably something related to the building's structure.

a simple, clean, and well-equipped stay!

perfect location clean facilities functional kitchen
i found the location perfect for what i needed. entry was easy. i liked the facilities, very clean indeed. breakfast was modest, but it gave me enough energy to start the day. there was a functional kitchen, and i could have cooked, but i decided not to.
the room was quite small. a big desk and chair felt too large for the space. this made moving around a little challenging.
