mixed feelings about this stay

good water pressuresmall roomsmall bed
The shower was nice. It had good water pressure.
This place is more like a floor in an apartment complex. It is not a real hotel. breakfast is at a cafe. I found that odd. the room was small, and the bed was also small.

The room cleaning was perfect. It remained super clean during my entire stay because of the consistent service. The coffee provided exceeded the quality I have found at other hotels. The air conditioning unit worked effectively, and the bed was comfortable. The reception staff allowed me to store my bags after checkout. This allowed for more sightseeing before my departure.
The walls seemed thin! I could hear noises from other rooms.
