"The location was excellent and the largest plus was a well run self-service laundry facilities. The machines were new and functioning. The hotel guests were also very considerate and remove their cloth promptly. I chose this hotel because I thought it had an onsite restaurant but unfortunately it was closed by business. The hotel is within walking distance but it’s a little inconvenient when we checked in late and were tired. We would stay here again"
