The room was spacious and very clean (I really appreciated that).
The building felt old and tired. The stay was expensive considering that breakfast wasn't even included.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
convenient locationair conditioning
The location proved convenient, being near local bars.
My room lacked air conditioning and I could not fully open the windows. This made the room uncomfortably warm, particularly during the day. I'm quite disappointed.
