The location was good for walking to many places. The room had adequate space and was clean enough.
I had issues with the outdated bathroom. The shower curtain was straight out of the seventies. The grout had a layer of grime.

spacious rooms and good location
ample space quiet room rooftop bar
i enjoyed my stay. the rooms provided ample space and remained quiet. the beds felt cozy and conducive to restful sleep. the staff was very kind and helpful throughout my visit. i appreciated the convenience of both an on-site restaurant and a rooftop bar. this hotel offered excellent value in a great location.
the furniture in my room seemed somewhat worn and outdated. i noticed some dust accumulation on surfaces throughout the room. upon entering the room initially, there was a faint odor that wasn't particularly appealing. i hope they address these minor issues to further enhance the guest experience.
