The room was clean and the location was convenient. It was easy to get around. the staff were helpful. They answered my questions quickly. the building had a lovely atmosphere and charm. It felt cute.
The room was quite small. Space was limited once i put my luggage inside. the shower temperature dial did not work well. It was hard to find a comfortable water temperature. the stairs were difficult with heavy luggage. There was no elevator.
