I had a flight booked from City Airport, so this location, just a 20-minute walk away, was ideal for me. Check-in at 8 pm was straightforward without queues, and the staff were very helpful. My room was warm and comfortable, but the lighting was very poor, and I was unable to read my book. Breakfast choices and service were excellent.
The bedroom lighting consisted of two bedside lamps. It was so poor (dark) that I was unable to read my book.

I liked that there was a wending machine available 24/7 and staff was friendly.
The bathroom smelled like mold and there was visible mold in the corners. The windows don’t open and it was impossible to let fresh air in and the AC barely helped with that. It was really smelly and was not pleasant. There were no vegetables at breakfast, that was also weird.

Decent hotel, friendly hotel room assistants.
When I entered there was only 1 toilet tissue and a half used one. The cards sometimes would stop working. The apple juice was too sweet and needs to be watered down.
