Great Location and Clean Room

central location clean room comfortable stay
The location was central. I found it easy to walk or take a bus. The accommodation suited me well for one night as it was super clean and cozy. I also found it good value. I would stay again.
The room was expensive. I expected more amenities for the cost. A fridge would have been a valuable addition.
