chipped paintfirm bed
The bathroom felt a little outdated. I noticed some chipped paint near the shower. also, the traffic outside was louder than i expected (even with the windows closed). i think some thicker curtains would help block out the light and noise. the bed, although clean, wasn't as comfortable as i hoped it would be. it felt a bit too firm for my liking.

Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Issues

The breakfast selection was good.
The hotel seemed quite old. Climbing the stairs felt unsafe, especially considering the needs of elderly guests. The lack of adequate safety measures was concerning. The room itself was disappointingly small.
