Acceptable Stay

great location breakfast choices noisy room closed curtains

The location is definitely a plus! It made seeing many museums super easy. The breakfast choices were nice too. There were several options available each morning.

I found a few things that could be better. My room was next to reception, I could hear people a lot. This also meant I had to keep the curtains shut, which wasn't ideal.

small room sewage smell

the location was acceptable. it was close to museums.

I was disappointed with the room size. it was advertised as accommodating three people, but my carry-on suitcases barely fit. there was also a strange smell in the lobby, like sewage. This persisted during my entire stay.
