i found the location convenient for exploring (everything was so close!). my late check-in request also went smoothly. it was a relief to know that i could arrive later without any issues, especially after a long journey.

The receptionist gave US a warm welcome. She allowed us to leave our luggage before check-in and gave us a call to check in early, which i appreciated. My room was VERY clean, and the bed was comfortable. the shower was hot. The location was great, check-in was easy, and it was a short walk to the bus station. i only stayed one night, so the accessible suite on the ground floor worked well for me.

The bed was not comfortable at all, it reminded me of two single beds pushed together. The mattress protector wasn't the right size. It kept coming off. I also found it odd that housekeeping left extra towels and sheets on the floor outside the door. It didn't seem very hygienic.
