mixed feelings about this hotel

outdated room stained towels
The breakfast was acceptable. It had a standard selection of items.
The room i stayed in felt quite outdated. the shower had a curtain, and after i took a shower, the bathroom floor was covered in water. there were stains on all four towels. That was disappointing.

adequate stay with some drawbacks

dated bathroom street noise
the bathroom was quite dated, it had a shower curtain instead of a proper enclosure. this made it difficult to avoid water splashing everywhere after a shower. i also found the noise from the nearby street noticeable, especially early in the morning, it impacted my sleep.
