"The hotel is close to the city center, and the transportation in and out is very convenient. The price is very close to the people, it should be said that the price is very high.

GGuest UserToilet has not been cleaned, coffee pot wasn’t rinsed, and wash cloths were damp but overall it was a nice big modern room, very clean and organized. We did request an early check in which as nicely received and accommodated… we will stay here again. Front desk both day and night were very kind and pleasant, which we appreciated also. Couldn’t beat the rate, we were on a tight budget and I was worried it would be a nightmare but it was a great stay and we were really glad with the choice!
