Acceptable Location, Some Disappointments
cold room missing warmth
The location was great. A short walk to the station was quite convenient.
The room itself looked nice, but it was very cold. The provided decor also didn't compensate for the lack of warmth and comfort.

street noise temperature control
The room felt too warm despite my efforts to adjust it. I attempted to open the windows for ventilation, but the noise from the street became disruptive. I found the lack of temperature control in the room disappointing. I expected better from my stay considering the overall rating of the place.
