The location was acceptable. It was close to many attractions.
I experienced issues with the hot water. It took over five minutes to get barely lukewarm water for a shower one night. I found two bugs in the shower one evening. NO apologies were given at check-out.

I had some issues. The room lock seemed temperamental. My neighbor experienced the same. I'm unsure why the shower and toilet were separate. This design felt strange to me. i also found hauling luggage up the stairs to reception quite inconvenient.
