helpful staffgreat locationmain attractionsmisleading suggestionroom issuelack of information

i REALLY liked the helpful staff! they assisted me a lot. the location was also great. it allowed me to explore the main attractions on foot (i love walking!).

i chose this hotel based on conditions, INCLUDING a room for 3 people. however, they did not have a room with a bed for 3 people. it seemed like a scam! also, they should clearly inform guests whether the room has a window or not.
