The tram station being right next door made getting around simple. That was a big win for me. i was actually surprised by the large safe capable of storing my laptop. the staff was helpful. there were plenty of light switches in the room, so i could adjust the brightness easily.

the towels could be softer. they weren't exactly skin friendly, i think.
