decent stay overall
good bathroom friendly staff dirty carpet worn bedsheets
The breakfast was plentiful each morning. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They were always available when needed. the room was a nice size. It had a good bathroom, too.
The reception area was tired looking. it gave me an uncomfortable first impression. The bedroom carpet was dirty, unfortunately. bedsheets felt a little thin and worn.

Breakfast was great.
The email I received mentioned a self-check-in system, and I didn't like it. I had to enter a code to enter the building. I then had to enter another code to get my room key. There was no human interaction at all.
