Highly recommend this hotel. The location is super convenient and felt very safe. The room was incredibly spacious for one person and nice and quiet during the weekdays. Having a convenience store right on the ground floor was a huge bonus! The only minor thing was that the air conditioning was pretty loud, so I ended up turning it off during the night, but it wouldn't stop me from staying here again.
