Overall, it was a good stay. Receptionist was friendly and informative. The room was clean but a little too warm for my liking. There was no AC as they transition to heaters during the winter. No big deal. Also, there was only one little trash can in the bathroom. A second one in the living area would’ve been helpful. Location is great. Easy walk across the bridge to the city center.
