The availability of a sink inside some rooms is a plus for many, and while some found the vending machine's cash-only policy a bit inconvenient, the overall cleanliness is consistently highlighted.

The room was VERY clean. The towels are changed often. The staff at the reception are always friendly. They allowed me to leave my luggage in a special room before my departure and REALLY helped with lots of little things.
The noise isolation in the room wasn't great. It sounded like i was sleeping right on the street.
