adequate stay, some issues noticed

soft bed limited space
The location was indeed central. I could walk to most places i wanted to see.
The room was a bit of a letdown. It felt quite basic and the bed was too soft for my liking, i seemed to roll into the middle every night. also, the bathroom had very limited space to put toiletries, inconvenient. it didn't quite feel worth the price i paid.
