Satisfactory stay overall

convenient locationspacious roomclean windownoisy streetstale airsmall bathroom

The hotel location was really convenient. It was a short walk to a place with gluten free breakfast. The room itself was spacious and nice. I especially appreciated the large, clean windows.

The street outside could get noisy. This meant I needed to keep the windows closed. Then, the air inside the room felt stale. There was only a fan to help with air circulation, not ideal. The bathroom was also quite small, a bit inconvenient.
