Spacious Comfort

“I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the Double or Twin Room. With ample room to move around, I felt right at home. The A/C kept the room cool on hotter days, and the comfortable bed, complete with good-quality linen and a cozy quilted blanket, ensured that I had restful nights.” view full review

Functional Shower Area

“While the shower had a provincial style without a curtain or ledge, I appreciated its functionality. It did require some effort to squeegee the water towards the drain after use, but it made me more mindful of cleanliness. The hot water was consistently available, adding to the overall practicality of the bathroom.” view full review

24-Hour Café Convenience

“Having a 24-hour café right downstairs was a fantastic feature for me. It was convenient to grab a snack or drink whenever I needed, even late at night. Although it only offered bottled drinks, it provided a satisfying selection for a quick pick-me-up.” view full review

“The hallways leading to the rooms were clean and well-maintained, which contributed to a pleasant stay. Returning to my room after exploring meant stepping into a tidy space that felt inviting. I appreciated the overall attention to cleanliness throughout my visit!” view full review
