The reception staff offered clear explanations about parking. They also assigned me a quiet room since i had just finished traveling! the breakfast was great, and the lady working there was very helpful. She even provided hot milk. i am already planning my next reservation here.
I could hear the people in the next room very easily. Every conversation and toilet flush came through the wall! the sound definitely impacted my sleep.
