“This hotel targets extended stays with fully equipped kitchens, yet it's also surprisingly pet-friendly, welcoming dogs and providing convenient laundry facilities; I think that the 24-hour gym is a considerable plus for travelers on the go. While some found the service inconsistent and the rooms needing some attention, I note its location near shopping and restaurants as a solid advantage. It seems best suited for unfussy guests who prioritize practicality.”
