“Privacy is thoughtfully considered with individual cubicles fashioned into the bedroom spaces. The staff seem genuinely invested in ensuring smooth travels, even going above and beyond when unexpected baggage mishaps occurred. It's a place where basic needs, like a warm shower, are met, but the human connection clearly stands out.”
