clean room comfortable bed great amenities uncontrolled heating heavy window open fire door
The room was clean , and the bed proved very comfortable. I found all of the amenities to be great. Breakfast was simple , yet it offered more than enough to properly begin my day.
The heating was not something I could adjust myself. I found the window too heavy for me to open. I noticed the fire door next to my room was propped open , contrary to its warning sticker.

small room limited storage
The room was smaller THAN i expected. storage space felt limited. I struggled a bit to fit all my belongings. also, the location wasn't AS central as i hoped, it required bus rides to reach MANY attractions.
