Acceptable, but With Issues

small room street repairs

The location was acceptable, providing relatively easy access to key areas.

My room was quite small and I didn't get a hair dryer. That was annoying. Street repairs happened right outside, causing a LOT of noise early in the morning and disrupting my sleep. I also noticed a broken table at the breakfast bar, which didn't make a great impression.
