The room's air conditioning was inadequate. it struggled to cool the space, causing some discomfort. additionally, soundproofing was a real problem. Corridor noise and sounds from other rooms disrupted sleep. i also observed some wear and tear on the furniture. Some pieces looked a bit tired.

adequate location, but several issues

acceptable locationunpleasant dining areapoor room condition
the location was acceptable, giving easy access to nearby restaurants.
The room i got was quite disappointing. It had an unpleasant view of another building's dirty wall (i wish i had requested a different room). the room's condition was poor, besides the refurbished bathroom. a dining area on the 6th floor seemed unpleasant. i won't book this place in the future.
