Adequate Stay with Notable Issues

poor lighting inadequate storage

The location proved convenient for accessing various attractions.

The room was poorly lit, even with all lights on. there was inadequate hanging space for clothes. I had to keep my suitcase open throughout my stay. The front desk staff acknowledged this as a common complaint, yet no solution was offered.

the hotel had a superb location near the train station. my room overlooked a canal. the staff was helpful. i enjoyed the honesty bar where i could make my drinks.

The hanging space was limited in my room. I wished for more storage. this meant my clothes were kept mostly in my luggage. more hanging space would enhance convenience .
