Reasonable Stay

useful location great staff clean room small room uncomfortable bed lackluster mini-bar
The location proved quite useful to me. I appreciate that the location is quite close to the opera. The staff showed readiness to provide info about the city. The rooms are clean. I thank them for that.
My room was not so great. It felt small, and there was hardly any space for me to walk around. I found the bed uncomfortable because of some sagging on one side. The mini-bar was quite mini.
