adequate stay

central location shopping streets comfortable bedsheets poor lighting closet area small store
i appreciated the central location. it was very close to shopping streets. it was also more or less a ten minute walk to markthall. the mattress and bedsheets were superbly comfortable.
unfortunately, the room lighting was poor. i found it difficult to see things in the closet area. i needed to use my phone flashlight to fetch things in my suitcase. there was no kitchen, only a small convenience store.

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.
