small room bathroom location
The breakfast was acceptable. Not amazing, just standard.
The room was small. I could barely turn around. the bathroom was down the hall, a situation i detest. also, there was no lift. Dragging luggage up stairs is my least favorite activity.

mixed feelings about my stay
dated room soft bed
the location was indeed central making it easy to get around.
the room felt quite dated. bathroom furniture looked like a diy project.. the bed was too soft for my liking. i also noticed the milk sachets in the room had expired.
