middling stay with notable issues
absent remotelow pressure
the air conditioning remote was absent, so adjusting the temperature was impossible. the television remote did not function either. Shower pressure was very low and made showering difficult. The furniture seemed old and not well-kept. Drawers in the wardrobe were locked or stuck, preventing full use.

the location was amazing. i found it very easy to walk to many points of interest (the tower was about 15 minutes away). the staff was also very helpful. the breakfast included was simple, yet complete.
the rooms felt a bit outdated to me. i noticed the paint peeling off the walls and i could hear everything happening in the hallway. the shower and toilet also felt quite old.

The shower was a joke. Water trickled out so slowly it was hard to rinse shampoo from my hair. I seemed like I was in some kind of twisted water conservation experiment. the noise from the street went on until late. Sleep was elusive.
