Amazing Theme Room Experience!

convenient fridgefree umbrellaeasy commuteluggage hauling
I was happy the staff let me store some food in their fridge. This was super convenient! The hotel also provided an umbrella when it started snowing. The tram station was really close for easy travel around town. I was happy to stay here!
The front desk is on the first floor, so I had to carry my luggage up. It's a small inconvenience!

The staff was very friendly. I especially liked Mr Alex. He was a great help. They allowed an early check-in, which I really appreciated since my trip started very early that morning.
