central location helpful staff restaurant suggestions small bathroom drain smell limited breakfast

the location was very central. it was easy to reach the main attractions on foot. the staff were always ready to help with any questions! they offered maps and suggestions for local restaurants.

The bathroom was small and lacked counter space. there was a slight smell from the drains in the bathroom too. It wasn't constant though. the breakfast selection could have been better. It was quite basic and a bit limited.

average stay with noticeable issues

poor air conditioning cramped bathroom

the location was acceptable as it provided easy access to nearby attractions.

The bathroom was small and inconvenient, the door could not fully open. the air conditioning performed poorly, so the room remained uncomfortably warm despite my efforts to adjust it. breakfast service needed improvement. The coffee machine often had long queues, and some food items ran out quickly.
