mixed feelings about my stay

central locationcramped roomstained carpeting
the location was great, very central and convenient for exploring.
The room was smaller than i expected. It was a bit cramped with luggage and not much space to move around. the tv was mounted too close to the bed, so it was difficult to watch comfortably without feeling like i was going to knock it over. also, the carpeting throughout the room looked quite stained.
