Acceptable Stay

convenient location helpful staff lack of soundproofing cash payment

The location is very convenient. It allowed easy access to many attractions. The staff were helpful, providing assistance when required (I especially appreciated their help with directions).

The room was not soundproof. I could easily hear noises from other rooms. The payment of city tax required cash. I found this inconvenient, as I prefer using cards.
