polite staff super clean bathroom perfect shower limited space narrow bed luggage storage

the gentleman who checked me in was cute. the room itself was really clean and the bathroom was super clean, i must say. i found the shower particularly perfect and refreshing after a long day..

The room felt a little small. Space for luggage was quite limited. i also noticed that the single beds are rather narrow. i felt a bit restricted when trying to change sides at night.

friendly staff good selection

I found the staff very friendly. they seemed always ready to help with a smile, it. the complimentary breakfast was also a lovely surprise. It had a good selection of items.

The room, a superior twin room, felt a little cramped. Especially with our luggage, it was a bit hard to move around freely!
