Straightforward and Solid Stay

clean room comfortable bed efficient staff

The room was very clean. The bed offered great comfort (I slept soundly each night). Staff were quite efficient upon arrival. The room received tidying after my first night. There was enough hanging space. I found this useful for keeping my clothes organized.

The bathroom had an interesting layout, being almost like a self-contained unit within the room, but everything functioned as expected.
