The location was central, and I could easily walk to many attractions.

The room was smaller than expected. The bedsheets felt rough and unpleasant against my skin all night. The pillowcase also had an odd texture, difficult to sleep comfortably. I am quite disappointed by that.

I like that my room got a induvidual entrance. The room has a nice size. It has a table and some chairs in front of the window, I did enjoy having morning coffee there.

The receptionist, they asked me to make a copy of my credit card. I don't like it, it was insecure. The room, I found too dark, so I was struggling without sufficient light.
