Mixed Experience at City Hotel

low ceilings unusable table
The townhouse apartment I booked was not ideal. It was located about 100 meters from the main building, inconvenient (especially with luggage). The room was in the roof space, so the low, sloped ceilings made it hard to move around comfortably. I was also disappointed that the dining table was basically unusable due to the limited headroom.

the location was convenient (close to everything) and the provided coffee and tea were acceptable.
My room was in a roof space with low sloped ceilings and barely any headroom. It felt quite cramped and not worth the cost (i felt disappointed).
