Efficient Stay

easy accessuseful blindhelpful staff

The location provided easy access to transportation. The room was clean, and the blackout blind was useful. The staff helped when I needed power adapters.

The hotel was difficult to find. I needed to look for the entrance around the back. There were no signs at all to help. The bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a curtain.
