Super Place to Stay

comfy bed nice variety easy check-in large room
I found the double bed and single bed in the twin room very comfy. Breakfast was better than I had expected. It offered a nice variety. Check-in and check-out were both really easy. I appreciated how large the twin room was.
The shower head seemed a bit unclean! covered in black gunk.

The location was very quiet. The city center was still close by, offering access to various amenities. This quietness allowed for a restful environment, yet I was close to shops and restaurants. I was charmed.
