mixed feelings about this stay

dirty corners high price

The hotel location was acceptable because it was close to many shops.

The room i had was not clean. There was dirt in the corners. There was also mold in the shower, so hygiene was not a priority. The price seemed high, considering the issues with the room.

The staff's restaurant recommendations were acceptable.

The room was not clean (I noticed mold in the shower). The bed felt worn, and it was not comfortable. There was also significant noise at night since the rooms face the square.
