adequate stay with a few issues

central locationsmall roomdaily cleaning

the location was central making it easy to reach shops and restaurants..

The room size was not as expected. It felt cramped with little space to move around. the absence of daily cleaning services was also a letdown, especially since it was more like an apartment stay with no one to empty the trash or provide fresh towels. i had to request a towel change after some insistence, inconvenient.
