The hotel location was convenient to the city center. The proximity allowed for easy access to various attractions. The provided tea and coffee facilities in the room were appreciated. I found the availability of these amenities to be a nice touch.
The shower's temperature control was difficult to adjust. It made it challenging to get a comfortable water temperature. I noticed the room lacked a bedside light. This absence created an inconvenience during the night.
