traffic noise small room
the breakfast was good and the choice was acceptable.
the room i stayed in was small. it overlooked a very busy road and the traffic noise was intrusive. i closed the windows but the room got warm. the room felt overpriced.

excellent Experience
helpful staff easy change great location easy exploration
I found the staff helpful. They really were really nice! changing the beds to twin was super easy. They accommodated my request without a fuss. the location's great. I could easily walk to the center in just a few minutes. this made exploring convenient. overall, my stay was fantastic!
The water pressure in the shower wasn't the best. It was more of a drizzle than a proper shower. it's a very minor thing. But it's worth noting for anyone who loves a strong water flow.
