mixed experience, some issues with noise and room condition
excessive noise musty smell
the staff were helpful upon arrival and throughout my stay. they provided useful information about local dining.
the noise was excessive. music continued until 3:30 am, well beyond the advertised time. this significantly impacted my sleep. also, the room had a noticeable musty smell, giving the impression of uncleanliness, despite it appearing tidy at first glance.
