A Decent Stay

The location was really convenient to the centre. My room was quiet because of the double glass doors. The staff stored my luggage and gave me a map! with tips. This was very helpful.

The room got very stuffy. There were no fans. Breakfast seemed overpriced to me.

Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Issues

missing fan creaky floors

The location was convenient enough.

My room felt quite stuffy due to the absence of a fan. The floors also creaked loudly whenever anyone moved about, this made sleeping difficult.
