Great stay!!!

bed lights usb ports wall hooks clean bathroom

I liked that each bed had lights, shelves, USB ports, and an electric outlet. A curtain provided privacy as roommates arrived late, NOT disturbing my sleep. Wall hooks were available for clothes. The bathroom was ALWAYS clean, which I really appreciated.

The motorcycle parking situation was a bit tricky. I couldn't pre-book a spot directly through the hotel and had to create an account with the car park on arrival.
