mediocre stay with comfort issues
central locationthin wallcold food
the location was central and convenient (i could easily walk to many attractions).
The comfort level was below expectations. The walls seemed thin, and i could hear a lot of noise from other rooms. the mattress was uncomfortable, and the pillows felt lumpy. also, the breakfast options lacked variety, and the hot food was often cold.
