Easy, relaxing, and enjoyable.
Pros:

Big bed, private balcony and spacious bathroom with amenities. Walking distance to the train station and easy to find.

Cons:

There seemed to be a fan running consistently in the bathroom and I couldn’t find how to turn it off, quite loud.
Elevator was broken but my room was upgraded accordingly!
Overall great stay
