The location was indeed convenient. The staff was polite and helpful . I appreciated their assistance with my luggage. The room was clean and well kept. I noticed the fresh linens and tidy arrangement. The hotel also had a restaurant. It offered a variety of dishes for dinner.
The room was quite small. I had limited space for my belongings. The air conditioning unit was rather noisy. It disrupted my sleep. The breakfast was quite limited. I expected more options. The WiFi signal was unreliable. IT affected my ability to work.
