Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

thin wallslimited menu
The location was not ideal. I had to walk further than expected to reach certain attractions. The on-site laundromat was often busy so I could not wash my clothes when I wanted to. The room service menu was quite limited. I wished there were more options available. the walls were a bit thin and I could hear noise from neighboring rooms.

the train station was located just outside. transit was very easy because of that. a convenience store was attached. made getting supplies easy. the rooms has plenty of space and i found them clean.
the room is small i think. there is no space to walk and it becomes difficult when one has an extra bed. they should give bigger room to people coming with family in my opinion.
