Location was good. Gf gyosas a few doors down to the left if walking out of the hotel. Yum!! -on the opposite side of the street from hotel. Bathroom supplies were nice and could be picked up from a table at front reception

Toilet smelled of old urine and even after an extra cleaning remained smelly- very disappointing. Very little gluten-free food- disappointing for the price I paid for my breakfast. (get gyosas for gf shop in the same street instead!)

Perfect location, the staff was very nice and helpful. Room was clean but very small. No space to properly open the suitcase.
