perfect locationsteep stairsbasic breakfast

the location worked fine for getting to spots.

my room was like climbing everest as there was no elevator. i was on the fourth floor and the stairs were narrow, really steep, and not easy to carry my luggage. adding to that, there was no air conditioning in the room, i suffered through hot nights. the breakfast felt pretty basic with not much to choose from, i expected more.
