The location was convenient. It allowed easy access to nearby attractions. The room included a comfortable bed, WHICH ensured a restful night. The staff was helpful, addressing my inquiries promptly.
My room lacked sufficient soundproofing. Noise from adjacent rooms was noticeable. The shower had inconsistent water temperature, requiring adjustments. The breakfast area was somewhat cramped. It often felt crowded during peak hours.

I was quite disappointed with a few aspects of the hotel. the old sash window in my room wouldn't fully close at the top. It was drafty. some visible wear and tear existed, like frayed carpets. the bathroom overhead mirror light was also not working, inconvenient.
