Convenient stay near the train station
main stationearly check-inindividual air conditioningpower plug
The hotel is very close to the main train station. This made it easy to get around. I also received early check-in which was a bonus. The room had individual air conditioning that worked perfectly
The power plug positions in the room were inconvenient. They were not easily accessible for daily use. This made charging devices a bit difficult
