reasonable stay overall

helpful staff morning coffee bag storage small room tiny window aircraft engine
the staff at reception was so cute. they were super helpful with directions. the pastries and coffee in the morning were a really nice touch. i was also able to leave my bag after check out.
my room was small. i could not pull the chair out from the desk. the window was tiny, and the air circulation was poor. the fan provided sounded like an aircraft engine, so i didn't sleep well.
