accessible locationgreat roomnearby restaurantsrestaurant noisesmall roomunfriendly staff
The location was easily accessible. It made getting around simple. my room was great. i especially liked being near good restaurants. I had many options to choose from.
The music from the nearby restaurants was quite loud. i could hear it downstairs. the room size might feel claustrophobic if my stay were longer. It was a bit small! the staff didn't appear very friendly or cooperative.
