The location proved convenient for exploring nearby attractions, a definite plus.
My room felt quite dated, its decor distinctly uninspired. The shower needed attention, showcasing noticeable mold, and the temperature dial proved tricky. It shifted from cold to scalding with minimal adjustment. I found it hard to relax completely given these maintenance issues.
