Excellent! My family was very satisfied as soon as we entered the room. Each room had great natural lighting and beautiful views. Most importantly, they were very spacious. The kitchen was also well-equipped, making it ideal for cooking. Additionally, there was a laundry room for washing clothes and ample space for drying them. We truly appreciated the front desk staff lending us clothespins—their kindness left a lasting impression on us and was one of the main reasons this place stood out.
