The staff were kind and cute. The room included an electric kettle plus coffee and tea. The provided beddings was clean. The room was spacious, and contained both a single bed and a double bed. Housekeeping occurred daily .

The check-in desk was located in a different building. The room was in a separate building, a somewhat odd setup. This arrangement necessitated a walk between locations.

thin wallsshower hair

the room was smaller than i expected. i also found hairs in the shower, it really grossed me out. the walls are thin, and i heard noise from other rooms all night, so i got a bad sleep. plus, finding someone elses hair is never a good look for cleanliness.
