Decent Stay Near the Station

helpful staff clean premises convenient location elevator service long queue rush hour

The staff was helpful and cute. I appreciated the cleanliness of the premises. The location is very convenient. It is right next to the train station.

One of the elevators was out of service . This caused long queue times. I waited over 10 minutes to use the elevator during rush hour. It was quite inconvenient.
