It was easy to check-in at the other hotel, it was just a short walk away. There is a separate key to get in the building. The room was clean and spacious. We chose the deluxe room with private bathroom, mini fridge, and kettle. Everything worked including the TV, lights, and fan. I felt we could have used a microwave and a small chest of drawers as well. The desk was a nice area and we utilized all the counter space. I didn't mind that there wasn't a daily housekeeping service.. we took the trash out ourselves and were okay towel wise. There is no AC, but it was still comfortable with the ceiling fan and a window cracked open. Our floor was very quiet- I could hardly tell if any one else was staying there. Overall the area was very convenient. Tons of shops and restaurants. Easy public transportation access.
