rude staffextra charge
The hotel charged extra city tax even though I already paid it through Expedia. (That was annoying.) The front desk staff was rude and did not believe me when I said I had paid the additional charge upon arrival. She even refused to give me her name. I found that completely unprofessional.

The location was central with convenient access to transportation. The self-service market and lounge on level two were very convenient.
The room had minimal space for storing clothing, requiring items to remain in the suitcase.
