the location was really great. i could easily reach so many places. the breakfast had such a lovely variety and was always something i looked forward to. i liked how clean the room was.
The gym could use some updates. the equipment felt a bit old. also, the noise from the street at night was noticeable. This made it a little difficult to sleep sometimes! the pillows were also too soft for my liking.
