lukewarm airrough towels
My stay had a couple of snags. the air conditioning was like a stubborn mule. It just wouldn't cool the room down. it was supposed to, but no, it seemed to enjoy mocking me with its lukewarm air. also, the towels felt a bit rough. They could definitely invest in softer ones, it might prevent skin irritation

central locationeasy accessluggage storagesmall showerac issuenoise disturbance
The location is really central. It made visiting local attractions simple. Staff helped me with reservations. They also stored my luggage after checkout. This allowed me more time for sightseeing.
The shower space was small. It was difficult to take a shower comfortably. The hotel turned off the AC. This happened because the outside temperature was considered too cold. I could hear noise during the night. It sounded like constant pacing from the room above.
