Really good Stay

welcome cocktailexcellent lightinglobby gamessmall bathroom
The staff offered a complimentary welcome cocktail upon arrival, which I found thoughtful. My room had excellent lighting, especially the practical under-bed lighting for nighttime, it was a nice feature. I also appreciated the selection of games available in the lobby, providing entertainment while I waited.
The bathroom was unusually small. There was little space to hang towels. I had to improvise to dry them.
Rooms
8/10
The room featured a comfortable queen bed, a well-appointed layout. the absence of a refrigerator or microwave might inconvenience some guests! The lighting options were excellent, offering a cozy ambiance.
Location
