helpful staff good breakfast great location bathroom cleanliness loud humming outdated facilities
The location was quite good. It was near many restaurants. the complimentary breakfast was also good. the staff were helpful. They carried my bags to the room.
The bathroom could have been cleaner. I noticed some areas that were not thoroughly cleaned. there was also a loud humming noise. I never figured out where it came from. the facilities could use an upgrade. They looked a bit worn.

charmed by my stay
friendly staff convenient location
The staff proved friendly and helpful throughout my stay, and it was reassuring to know assistance was always available. The location proved convenient, i could easily access local attractions and restaurants nearby. the excellent service and prime location contributed significantly to a nice visit! though, i did notice a need for some minor updates.
my room faced an inner courtyard, unfortunately this meant i experienced some noise from nearby ventilation systems. the noise did disrupt my sleep slightly each night and i wish i had brought earplugs, otherwise everything was satisfactory.
