adequate location, disappointing bathroom

convenient locationplastic unitcramped shower
the location was convenient. it was easy to walk to different attractions.
the bathroom was a major letdown. it was essentially a prefabricated plastic unit, much like those found on trains. the shower was cramped, barely allowing any movement (honestly, it seemed like a tight squeeze).

friendly stafflovely vieweasy access
I found the staff very friendly and always ready to help (they even helped me with directions). The room had a lovely view overlooking the river. The location provided easy access to many city attractions by foot.
The walls seemed a bit thin. I could occasionally hear noises from adjacent rooms.
