outdated roommediocre breakfast
The location might be central. but it felt a little weird, especially at night! the room decor was pretty outdated, it needs some serious updating. also, finding nobody at the reception desk when i arrived was not a great first impression. It felt a bit too casual for my liking. the breakfast was nothing to write home about. It was just so-so.
