“This establishment presents an interesting dichotomy: the rooms are well-appointed and spacious, equipped with practical amenities like refrigerators and coffee makers. However, awareness of noise levels is necessary due to thin walls. Convenient parking and functional Wi-Fi add to the appeal for a brief stay.”
