easy accessfaulty doorloud street
The location was acceptable, providing easy access to nearby attractions.
My stay encountered a few problems. The bathroom door didn't close properly leaving a gap. I also noticed a stain on the carpet NEAR the bed. The second issue was the noise from the street, VERY loud late into the night.

adequate stay with some issues

quiet roomunexplained chargepoor communication
the room was reasonably quiet despite the proximity to the main road.
the minibar had an open bottle when i arrived, and although i reported it, i was later charged for it. resolving this took multiple calls and a concerning lack of communication from the staff. the promised refund never materialised.
