Really good stay!
perfect locationlovely coffeecomfortable bedair conditioning
I found the location perfect. It allowed short walks to the train station and the waterfront, a true convenience. A lovely coffee shop sat right next door. A large supermarket around the corner provided easy access to necessities. The quiet nights and comfortable bed ensured restful sleep.
The air conditioning seemed to have issues. Despite the external heat, it was not effective.
