the location was acceptable, offering convenient access to nearby attractions.
the room felt dated, and i was disappointed by the lack of a microwave, despite it being indicated in the room details. i also noticed the main corridors lacked air conditioning, resulting in uncomfortably warm conditions on the top floor. it wasn't great.
