convenient central stay

split-level layoutfriendly staffsmall bathrooms
The loft type room suited our group of three adults perfectly! it featured a charming style and split-level layout that met our needs. Location proved convenient with easy access and nearby restaurants. i appreciated that the desk staff were friendly and helpful.
i found that the facilities were quite old and looked tired, the super small rooms were not the best feature! the ridiculously small bathrooms really were an issue, so that should be adressed soon.
