adequately sized roomcarpet stains
the room was adequately sized (i had a single room) and provided the basics required for a short stay.
my room was on the top floor, and carrying luggage up several flights of stairs was quite difficult. furthermore, i found the cleanliness to be subpar. There were noticeable stains on the carpet and the bathroom mirror was not properly cleaned.

Mixed feelings about this stay

great locationdifficult check-insmall room
The location was great. It was close to everything i wanted to see.
Check-in was a pain. i had to call several times and wait a long time before finally getting access. also, the room was much smaller than i expected. There was barely enough space to move around.
