"We stayed here for 10 days and they literally have an app on the room’s tv that displays the live status/availability of their laundry machines. Not sure if that’s a standard thing but that was super awesome. Overall an incredible value, got a lot of bang for the buck with this place. Clean rooms, helpful staff, daily house keeping, and located a block from the nearest train station. 10/10 would stay here again. Fantastic ac as well"
