okay, i guess

minimal housekeeping street noise
Location was pretty decent. I could walk to quite a few places.
The room felt smaller than advertised, honestly. i found the lack OF soundproofing particularly bothersome. Street noise kept me awake EVERY night. housekeeping did a minimal job, and I even found a stain on ONE of the towels.

Acceptable Stay with Issues

street noise missing minibar
I found some aspects disappointing . The room lacked proper soundproofing, and I could hear street noise at night (this made it difficult to sleep well). I also noticed the absence of certain expected amenities in the room. There was no minibar. These issues detracted from the overall experience.
