Charming Stay

attentive staff modern design
I found the staff attentive and friendly. The room design was modern and well-appointed (I especially liked the LA suite).
The noise from the nightclub was quite loud until late. It made sleeping difficult, a shame.

dated decor loose tiles
The location was perfect for what i needed. It was quite central.
The room's decor felt a bit dated, it wasn't to my taste! also, the bathroom needed some attention. Some tiles were loose. the light switches were hard to find since the room was dark when i arrived. the writing on the switches had worn off.
