excellent stay near the centre

town centre cute staff freshly cooked breakfast

I found the accommodation near the town centre. walking to different places was easy. the staff seemed warm and cute. breakfast was freshly cooked, and i had different options to choose from. It was a pleasant start to my days.

the plug outlets in the room were few. it was difficult to charge my devices simultaneously. i hope they can add more outlets for convenience.

Acceptable but With Issues

small room few plug outlets

The breakfast was good and filling before a day of exploring.

I found some issues. The room felt quite small, offering very little space for luggage. I also noticed a distinct lack of available plug outlets, made charging devices difficult. It was inconvenient.
