mixed experience, some issues noted.

poor air conditioningsticky bathroom floor
The air conditioning was quite poor. It seemed to only blow hot air. this made sleeping difficult, especially with the train station noise. the shower was also problematic, fluctuating rapidly between scalding and freezing. i also found the room cleanliness wanting. There were crumbs upon arrival, and the bathroom floor felt sticky.

small roomerratic water temperature
The room was quite small, I EXPECTED more space. The shower was oddly configured. Water temperature fluctuated wildly, BURNING me one moment and freezing the next. The breakfast area was also cramped. There WERE very few tables for the number of guests. The selection was limited.
