Central Stay

well-equipped kitchenetteearly check-insufficient utensils
The kitchenette included stovetops, a microwave, an electric kettle, and a refrigerator. Cooking utensils were sufficient for preparing my own meals. The staff facilitated an early check-in, which I really appreciated after my travels.
I noticed the absence of guest slippers, and the floor seemed dusty. My feet got a bit dirty.
