a somewhat disappointing experience

small bathroom limited breakfast

the location was acceptable, placing many attractions within walking distance.

The room was quite small, especially the bathroom. I found it difficult to maneuver. the elevator could barely fit one person and a small bag.. this proved inconvenient, especially when i had luggage. furthermore, the breakfast selection lacked variety. I expected more options.
