It was a good area, quiet and peaceful. The room smelled very strongly of bleach, so it must have a had a good cleaning. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing really stood out, good overall basic place to stay.

Before checking in i asked whether we can store some luggage at the storage for 4 days and agent who answered the phone confirmed its possible. But at desk they didnt want to store luggage for more than a day. This caused us to cancel booking for the rest of the trip and book elsewhere incurring higher fee for accommodation.
