small bathroomlack air conditioning
the bathroom was small , the space felt cramped. the toilet paper holder jutted out awkwardly . the shower stall felt equally confined , i struggled to turn around without bumping into the walls. also , the lack of air conditioning made the room stuffy , it was quite unpleasant.

lovely experience!!!

great locationcomfy bedgood valuesmall bathroom
The location was great. It made moving around the city easy because it was close to train and subway stations. the bed was comfy, and the room (park view) was quite spacious! the price was also a good value. i found the reception decor to be very art deco.
i did notice that the bathroom was a bit small. when i opened the door, it almost hit the shower area, which wasn't ideal.
Rooms

the room was a decent size, especially considering typical accommodations. the shower had good water pressure, and i really liked that! the room was also very clean upon my arrival.
