Mixed feelings about the box

acceptable locationuncontrollable temperature
The location was acceptable for my needs.
The heating was HORRIBLE. I couldn't sleep because it was WAY too hot, with no way to control the temperature in the room.

Snug and Sweet Getaway

The modern room design was a good surprise. I appreciated how clean ALL areas were. It was very convenient to have the train station so close.
The room could have used a small mirror outside the shower area.

The self-check-in process utilizes an app for straightforward entry, streamlining arrivals and departures, REALLY emphasizing technological integration for guest convenience. This promotes independent access and reduces wait times, especially beneficial for late arrivals or early departures.
