Acceptable stay with issues

great locationmusty smelldifficult shower
The location allowed easy access to local bars and restaurants
Check-in information arrived late. I waited three hours past the scheduled time. The room smelled musty and of smoke despite being a non-smoking room. Insect bites looked on my legs after sleeping in the bed. The shower was cramped and difficult to use. I expected better.

acceptable stay with some issues

convenient locationneeded repairstraffic noise
the location proved convenient for accessing nearby attractions.
I found the room rather small. It definitely needs a fresh coat of paint. there were also repairs required on the walls. It wasn't ideal. moreover, traffic noise was noticeable and the window closure was inadequate. i found this frustrating.
