great locationclean roomtiny roomexternal noise

The LOCATION was fantastic , being just steps away from the central area. I REALLY appreciated the modern and clean feel of the room.

The room was tiny , at least it felt small for three people. ANY noise from outside was easily heard , like the windows were open.
