small room cramped space
the location was acceptable, close to transportation and some attractions.
i was disappointed to find the room quite small. moving around the room was difficult because the bed was nearly against the wall. it felt cramped and not very comfortable for a longer stay.

disruptive noise noise issue
the room was spacious enough (i stayed in a double room) and had all the necessary amenities.
I found the noise from the nearby utility room quite disruptive, especially during the night it made it difficult to fall asleep. I wish the hotel had informed me beforehand about the potential noise issue.

Solid stay near the city center
spacious room tasty addition
I really liked the spacious double room I was given. The hotel provided cookies and chips in the room. I found this addition to be tasty. The location of this hotel was close to the bus stop. It was also an easy walk to the city center.
During the check-in, the staff seemed less friendly. The check-in process could have been more cute.
