Check-in was contactless and convenient. the staff was helpful with adjusting the heater. The room was a bit hot.
The bathroom door didn't fit properly, so it closed loudly against the door frame. the traffic noise was noticeable. I had to keep my window open since the air conditioning control didn't seem to work.
