decent stay near the centre
convenient locationfriendly staffclean roomtight accesslimited ventilationlimited breakfast
the location proved quite convenient. it was very close to bars, restaurants, a theatre, and shopping options. the staff members were friendly . i appreciated the clean room.
Access to one side of the bed was tight. There was a narrow gap to the wall. the single window did not open, limiting ventilation. breakfast felt somewhat limited.
