the location was convenient. it was near many restaurants and shops. the breakfast buffet had many selections.
the room had a connecting door and i could hear everything next door. this made sound proofing a real problem. the decor was also rather depressing, it looked like an airport hotel.

great locationeasy excursionsdim bathroom lightscold room
the location offered great convenience to explore the city. i found various shops and restaurants nearby. the bus system picks up right in front of the building, made excursions easy.
the room was too cold, even after regulating the heating. i found the bathroom lights to be quite dim. this made it difficult to see properly.
