Acceptable stay, minor issues

The location provided easy access to nearby attractions. I found that quite convenient.

My room's temperature was difficult to regulate. It remained too cold despite adjustments. I expect better climate control for the price paid. The staff did not resolve this issue.

limited breakfastpersistent noise

I noticed a couple of issues. The breakfast selection felt quite limited. There wasn't much beyond toast and some basic spreads. the noise levels were higher than I would have liked. My room faced what seemed to be an adjacent building's ventilation system, and the noise persisted throughout the night..
