"I really enjoyed this hotel, it has a great vibe and the room was very nice and very clean. The only thing that was missing for me was somewhere to get a tea or coffee that was included. I wish the rooms had a fridge of some sort so I’d be able to store my own milk and coffee in the room seeing as they don’t provide any food or drink options. But overall we had a great experience with the staff, the rooms, the vibe, they had a bag room for us to leave our suitcases after check out too which was very helpful"
