Nice clean room, but basically no daily maid service. You have to go exchange your dirty towels yourself, and they don’t replenish your coffee pods. There is a snack room open in the morning with coffee, juice and snacks.

Clean and tidy. Cute little room. The only suggestions I have for improve is to add nightstands. I've neve stayed in a place that didn't have at least one. Very awkward not having a place besides the floor to sit things like phone, glasses, tv remote etc.
