Mixed Feelings About My Recent Visit

great locationdirty floorthin walls
The location was close to many attractions.
The room was not great at all. The floor felt dirty. Dust covered everything, and stains marked the sheets and chair. The walls seemed thin, because I heard neighbors easily.

Good location, but room for improvement

great breakfastbigger roomnice terraceroof top
I liked the breakfast. It had many options to chose, including eggs to order. I got an upgrade to a bigger room at no extra cost. The rooftop had a nice terrace. It also had a bar.
I found the room small. It seemed smaller than the family room shown online when I booked. I did not have enough space to pass another person. The window was small, facing a dark space. The curtains were hard to open because of the couch bed.
