"I had a positive and quiet stay there. Plenty of amenities.. sink .. microwave .. fridge ., and TV. The person who checked me in was friendly and attentive. The only minus - the room had a very strong smell of bleach or another strong cleaning chemical as soon as I entered. I opened windows .. went out for a walk and dinner. It was fine when I returned."
