decent experience

helpful staffspacious roomcomfortable roomsmall roomsmall bathroomflooding shower
I found the staff very helpful. the rooms are spacious and comfortable. the hotel is a short walk from the center. It was about 20 minutes.
the room was quite small, and so was the bathroom. there was nowhere to put toiletries in the shower. the walk-in shower kept flooding the whole bathroom. i had to use a towel to stop water from going to the hallway.
