Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

good locationmissing air conditioning

The location was close to the train station. It made getting around relatively easy

The room lacked air conditioning, a major problem. A small fan was provided, but it just circulated hot air and did little to cool the room. Sleeping was difficult, especially with outside noise when the window was open.
