Convenient stay for solo travellers

handy locationprivate bathroomgood priceunclean rooms
I found the location quite handy, especially since I needed a bed for the night. A PRIVATE bathroom was essential for me, and this place provided just that. The price point was also good, aligning with my needs for a quick overnight stay. The staff was polite and helpful during check-in.
The room needed refurbishment because the walls and carpets were not clean. It definitely requires some attention to improve its overall condition.
