fancy room street noise
the location was acceptable. it was close to the bus terminal.
the pictures did not match the hotel's appearance. there was a fancy room in the pictures that only the host used. all the rooms were downstairs, so it felt odd, like being in a basement. there was also noise from the street.

excellent location easy parking helpful host thin walls water noise sleeping difficulty
the location is excellent, very walkable to shopping and restaurants. i found easy parking on the street. the host was very helpful, i dropped off my luggage pre checkin.
The walls were very thin. I heard the guest next door. when guests next door were showering, there was a loud gushing water noise. it was not easy to sleep with that noise.

convenient location easy access self check-in clear instructions clean apartment inaccurate photos small room limited space window view
The location provided easy access to the city center. It was a short walk to many attractions. The self check-in process was simple with clear instructions provided.. I appreciated this convenience. The apartment was clean upon arrival.
The photos online did not accurately represent the room I received. My room was in a converted garage, separate from the main building. The room was quite small, there was limited space for luggage. The window faced a wall, there was a lack of natural light.
