Nice apartment hotel with an excellent washer/dryer that was easy to operate and actually dried our clothes. The only downside is the lack of any type of hotel services, especially no coffee machine in the room or available in the lobby. There were also pans but no cooktop to use them. Price was a bit high but the room was relatively big.
