Reasonable Stay
convenient location friendly staff unsupportive pillow no air conditioning
The location was convenient. It was a short walk to many city attractions (I especially appreciated how close it was to the shops!). The staff members were friendly. They were happy to help with any requests.
The pillows provided little support. When I asked for firmer alternatives, I learned none were available. The room lacked air conditioning (this was a problem, as it got quite warm).
