decent stay, some issues.
cramped roomroad noise
The standard double room felt quite cramped. There wasn't much space to move around, disappointing. i also noticed the road noise was louder than i expected. It made it a bit difficult to sleep soundly, especially in the early morning. the location is on a semi busy road, so this is understandable, but it still detracted from the overall experience.
