Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

central locationsewage smellunhelpful staff
The hotel's central location was convenient.
I was disappointed by a persistent sewage smell in the bathroom. It seemed to originate from either the sink or the shower drain and really detracted from my experience. I informed the staff, but they didn't resolve the issue.. I also found that the staff attitude wasn't particularly helpful or professional.

underwhelming stay

central locationsmall roomdisruptive noise
the location was indeed central, close to many attractions.
the room i received did not match my expectations. it was smaller than i anticipated, and the promised view was obstructed. additionally, the noise from the street was quite disruptive, even with the windows closed.. this made it difficult to relax after a long day.
