clean decorconvenient experiencenoise issue
The hotel was decorated well and very clean. I especially loved the room layout. Everything needed was available and easy to find. The fridge was also a big plus! it was a super convenient and cosy experience.
Room 1 was a bit noisy because of the front door. I think adding grills to the ground floor windows could enhance safety if the window is open.

low water pressurestained carpet
the shower in our room, a double room, wasnt great. the water pressure was really low, it made it hard to wash my hair. also, i noticed some stains on the carpet near the bed. it just didnt feel very clean in that area. it's not what i expect when i am paying for a place to stay. the room could use some improvements.
