the room was super clean, and the decor showed great attention to detail. i noticed spot lighting. convenient sockets next to each bedside. the availability of coffee and tea in a common lounge was a nice touch. i also found a handy elevator in the building which i used often.

The location was a bit of a walk to the main attractions. It took about 15-20 minutes.
