basic comfort in the center

i appreciated the quiet and the privacy. the provision of essential amenities allowed for good sleep. morning showers were easy and straightforward, exactly what i needed for a quick stay.
the absence of coffee or tea provisions was a small inconvenience. it would have been nice to have these available directly in the room for an early morning.
