Great value for money and an excellent location. The room was spotlessly clean, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. I accidentally left my charger behind, but they kindly lent me one during my stay, and the coffee was surprisingly good too. Plus, there are convenience stores near the hotel and restaurants right nearby, so it was super convenient.
