a decent stay overall

convenient locationtrain stationcity centerair conditioningsmall fanbasic service
the location was convenient, not far from the train station. i found it close to the city center. the concept of the library charmed me.
The lack of air conditioning was the biggest issue. the small fan provided some relief. it was not enough. the staff was polite in a minimal way.

not the worst, but...

no replyhot shower
Okay, so a fire alarm decided to go off at 1 a.m. a fun surprise! it terrified my toddler, and then i emailed the desk to ask what happened. i received zero replies. apparently, someone's hot shower steam set it off. Maybe they should just turn off the showers at night.
