“This budget option presents a mixed bag; some rooms impress with cleanliness and comfort, while others, notably room 101, suffer from noise and lack of privacy due to its proximity to the reception and terrace. Linen quality also appears inconsistent. Ultimately, manage your expectations accordingly.”
