excellent stay at great location

nice decoration daily coffee convenient location
the room decoration really looked nice. everyday, a kettle had topped up coffee, tea and milk sachets. if i placed the towels inside the shower tray, i saw they got changed. the location was great and convenient.
i think the building lacked an elevator and my room was on the third floor.

a mixed experience near the city center

no elevator broken remote
the lack of an elevator was definitely a problem. my room was on the third floor (this was not fun after a long day). also, the tv remote did not work. i had to manually change channels, inconvenient.
