Acceptable, but Some Issues

poor ventilation bar noise
The location was convenient, offering easy access to nearby attractions.
The lack of proper ventilation in the room was a problem. The provided fan did little to alleviate the stuffiness. the noise from the nearby bar late at night made it hard to sleep well. I was disappointed about that.
