Acceptable Stay, but with Disappointing Aspects
small shower lacking variety
The location was indeed central, with access to many attractions.
The room I had was not up to par. I found the shower to be quite small (I really expected better). Breakfast also disappointed. The variety was lacking, and several items did not seem fresh.
