underwhelming stay, some issues noted
odd smelltemperamental remote
I encountered a couple of problems . the room had an odd, lingering smell that i couldn't quite place. it wasn't overpowering, but it was definitely noticeable and a bit off-putting. additionally, the television remote was temperamental and difficult to use. Some buttons didn't work, and it took multiple tries to change channels or adjust the volume. these issues detracted from what i hoped would be a relaxing experience.

FANTASTIC Abba Tribute Night and More!!!
fun nighttasty foodconvenient locationfoam glow sticks
I attended the ABBA tribute event. The band was AMAZING!!! Everyone sang along. The food was tasty. The venue became a dance floor VERY quickly. They gave out foam glow sticks, which elevated the atmosphere of the dance floor. The location is super convenient, really close to the train station.
The room I stayed in could use a small update. It wasn't a big issue, but it's noticeable.
