tram stopcommon areahelpful staff
the tram stop was very close to the hotel. this made getting around easy. there was free coffee in the common area. the staff assisted me with storing luggage before check-in.
The staffing level seemed minimal. It felt more like a b&b than a full hotel.

martina went beyond expectations with her service! the cleaner always ensured my room was super clean, which i really appreciated. i found the staff very helpful and they were always there to assist, a real plus for any traveler. they even provided disposable raincoats due to some rainy weather!
the bed mattresses were a bit too soft for my liking.
