Excellent modern property. Even though the room was small, they did an excellent job fitting everything into the space with plenty of storage, kitchen, sink, large fridge, closet, etc. all modern equipment. Bidet was better than most hotels. No complain in functionality despite the small space. The only complains are: (1) noise insulation, can hear neighbors (2) heated floor seemed to take temperature above thermostat temperature, we had to turn on the AC

Maybe only good for one person on business

We left after the first night of our three night booking. Although the room was clean, the bed was a small double with a terrible quality mattress. Both my partner and I woke complaining of a bad back.
