Adequate, but Some Issues

poor ventilationconstant noise
The room felt a bit stuffy. I suspect there is poor ventilation. Traffic noise persisted throughout the night. Earplugs are essential. The bed was okay. a window wouldn't close properly.

convenient stay

easy accesscomfy bedsafe areagood value
The room had dedicated parking right outside, so access was easy! patio chairs and a table faced the courtyard. the bed was comfy. the area felt safe for nighttime walks to shops and restaurants. I considered the value for money ok.
I found the tv kept searching for a signal. The sink was also outside the bathroom, which wasn't ideal
