A good stay!

accessible location cozy room early check-in
I appreciated the accessible location. The center was quite close. The room was cozy with all necessities available. The staff allowed an early check-in, amazing after my long journey.
The floor in my room could have been cleaner. I felt a residue on my feet after walking around. I think this is an important issue.

unpleasant smell lack storage
the location was adequate, a short distance from various attractions, not terrible.
The room was problematic, there was an unpleasant smell permeating the space, quite flowery, and it triggered a headache. storage space was also seriously lacking. the three provided hangers were hardly enough to hang my clothes. I practically lived out of my suitcase.
