Mixed feelings about my stay
buffet breakfaststeep walkloud doors
The breakfast was a buffet and it seemed filling.
There were NO taxis available, and the walk to the location was VERY steep. The doors to my block were loud and kept me awake as other guests returned late. I also had a random person knock on the door.
