I found the room size good and the beds comfortable. The location was also good. The staff was helpful. I appreciated the clean and tidy environment maintained throughout the building.

The hotel did not provide toothpaste or a brush. Shaving kits were also absent, but everything else was okay. I think some of the furniture looked quite old. I wish there were tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
