the location was great near the city center. the room faced a courtyard away from the road, so it was quiet. the buffet breakfast had a good selection.
Internal painting had been done recently. i could smell strong paint fumes in my room. It was almost unbearable. i had to keep the windows open, but the road outside was busy.
