coffee place great coffee bus stop multiple bus shower gel missing gel small size small room
I found several really great coffee places right across from the hotel. A Lidl supermarket was also conveniently located just 50 meters away! I enjoyed having multiple bus stops in front of the hotel. It made getting around easy.
The shower lacked gel, a big letdown, especially before an important meeting! The room was beautiful, though the size felt a bit too small.
