great location helpful staff comfortable bed small rooms small towel sharp tone

The location was great. the staff proved very helpful and friendly. the bed allowed restful sleep. It was comfortable.

The rooms felt quite small. there was only one small towel provided for each guest. This was not enough. the morning receptionist had a sharp tone and charged me twice for parking. This was frustrating.

noisy air-conditioning cold air

The location was perfect. It was easy to access everything I wanted to see.

The air conditioning in my room was noisy! I could not sleep unless I turned it off completely. It only blew cold air, and it couldn't heat the small room at all.
