underwhelming stay

street noise no elevator

the room design was acceptable.

The noise from the street was terrible. i could hear every conversation and car that passed. It went on all night! also, the lack of an elevator was inconvenient. i struggled with my luggage up several flights of stairs, and there was no assistance available.
