Decent Stay with Location Benefits

great locationkind staffunique designpoor cleanlinessinconvenient socketbathroom switch
The location was definitely a plus, providing easy access to nearby attractions. Staff members were kind and gave useful directions. The room design had a unique style I found appealing.
Cleanliness was an issue as I saw hair on the floor upon arrival. The bedside table made the nearby socket difficult to reach. The bathroom light switch was inconveniently placed on the hinge side of the door.
