Fantastic Stay!

The staff was helpful. They assisted with a smooth early check-in. The room was spacious and very clean on arrival! Breakfast included quality ingredients and a lot of variety, which I appreciated. I also liked the central location. It's a short walk to nearby shops and the bus station.

I did notice some slight wear and tear in the bathroom, but it didn't affect my stay much.
