I found the staff very helpful. They allowed us to leave our luggage upon early arrival.. This meant we could explore without being burdened. The room included everything necessary for a comfortable stay.
My room was quite small. There was little space to move around the bed, this made getting ready somewhat difficult. Noise from the street was noticeable until late at night.
