helpful staff fresh options convenient location
The front desk staff was helpful. They quickly provided a fan for the room. breakfast offered fresh options and a coffee machine with choices like americano and cappuccino. the location allowed convenient walking to dinner and the grass market.
the mattress seemed like a pad on a boxspring, and it kept shifting off the bed.

inconvenient placement disinterested staff
The room was small , and this made moving around difficult. The lack of space was compounded by the inconvenient placement of furniture. I asked for assistance regarding the room situation , but the staff were unhelpful and seemed disinterested in finding a solution.
