The hotel is conveniently located close to restaurants and stores, allowing easy access to everything you need. The service I received was the only highlight in this place, with laundry services available. However, the area around the hotel felt a bit secluded, akin to an alleyway.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, close to stores and yet tucked away in a quiet alley. The rooms were exceptionally clean and had an air purifier which was a great bonus. The service, while the only positive aspect of this place, was top-notch. However, the overall atmosphere felt comparable to what is received in jails or hospitals.

The hotel was wonderfully located near stores and had a smoking area, but unfortunately in a tough neighborhood. My room had an air purifier, which was a great feature, but the price was a bit high. The service was the shining star here, truly outstanding, especially in handling laundry requests.
