Comfortable Stay

Sharing a room with my spouse was a delight. The beds were cozy, and even though the space was small for our family of four, we still enjoyed the atmosphere.

Coffee Delight

I was glad to have access to decent instant coffee, especially since the coffee machine was out of order. A vending machine for snacks would be a great addition—still, I appreciated the thoughtful amenities.
