Acceptable City Center Stay

breakfast buffetcentral locationfriendly staffnoisy air conditioningvisible molddifficult sleep
The breakfast buffet was extensive. I was grateful for the variety of options available each morning. The location was central and provided easy access to different parts of the city. Staff members were friendly. They helped with directions.
The air conditioning unit in my room was quite old. It made a lot of noise during the night. It was difficult to sleep soundly. The shower had visible mold markings. I felt uncomfortable.
