A mixed stay

helpful staff convenient location responsive staff small room excessive fee loud unit
The front desk staff, especially alex, were quite responsive. He texted me daily to check if i needed anything, which i found helpful. The location was also convenient with easy access to nearby cafes.
My room, the standard king room, was smaller than I expected. The cleaning service fee felt excessive, it was almost 80 for just a few nights. the heating unit was rather loud, a little distracting.
