compact but thoughtfully designed!

energy conservation compact rooms helpful staff breakfast selection
I really liked how the hotel focused on energy conservation. the rooms are compact but well-organized, similar to a ship cabin. the staff was helpful and friendly. I found them excellent. breakfast had a good selection, which i thought was great.
the bed was against a wall, so one person had to climb over the other to get out. it was not ideal, especially considering the hotel price.
