Decent Location, Notable Drawbacks

small room limited breakfast

My visit was not entirely satisfactory. The room was excessively small. The soundproofing was inadequate, and I could distinctly hear conversations from adjacent rooms. the breakfast selection was limited, lacking variety.

Location is great, but some issues

small room mildew smell

The room was REALLY small, I felt a bit claustrophobic. The bathroom had a strange smell, almost like mildew, and it didn't go away even after opening the window. I also noticed that the soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear people talking in the hallway quite clearly. It disrupted my sleep, SO frustrating.
