Okay
The room was nice and clean with a modern feel. The bed was two dingles pushed together and the bottom sheet did not fit. This was annoying as we were staying for two nights. The bathroom was small and the door automatically shoot at rapid speed which always hit you as you entered the bathroom, this was very uncomfortable especially at night.
