friendly staff central location clean room

I found the staff friendly and helpful. the hotel's central location was excellent. Every attraction was within easy walking distance. my room was always clean to a good standard. i especially liked having a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool.

The walls seemed thin. I could hear noise from the hallway outside, especially from the elevator. this did make sleeping a bit difficult at times.

The room felt a little old. i noticed some cheap furniture. the soundproofing was not great, i could hear noises from outside! it really affected my sleep. the coffee from the machine wasn't good. It tasted watered down.
