the location was really good. it was a walkable distance to many places, and a nice restaurant was right next to it. beds, storage space and everything was nice and comfy. breakfast was also very nice (especially the food changing a bit every day).
the staff at the front desk were mostly friendly. however, one staff member assumed i was flushing paper hand towels down the toilet. no one even asked me if i had done it. i didn't like that the quality of the bathroom tissue wasn't great.
