An Acceptable City Stay

central locationfriendly staffcramped roomprivacy issue
The location was central. It was close to many places I wanted to visit. The staff seemed friendly. They were helpful when I asked for directions.
My room was small, and it felt cramped. There was very little space to store my things. I found the bathroom layout unusual. The shower's privacy was a little questionable.
