Mediocre Stay with Some Issues

lumpy mattress constant noise
The bed felt completely uncomfortable. The mattress felt lumpy, so sleeping became a chore. the noise was an issue. I could hear every tap and footstep. The television light also stayed on. I could not figure out how to switch it off at first.

adequate stay overall

premium room room upgrade clean room room cleanliness convenient location inaccurate photo photo quality uncomfortable stool stool seating lumpy pillows
i received a complimentary upgrade to a premium room upon my arrival. the room was very clean. the location was convenient, with easy walking distance to food and bars.
there was no chair, only an uncomfortable stool. both pillows felt lumpy and hard. the bed was a small single, so it was difficult to get comfortable.

Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Shortcomings

visible dust strong shower pressure
The location proved convenient for accessing nearby attractions.
I found the room's cleanliness lacking upon arrival. Specifically, there was visible dust and some stains on the furniture. the shower pressure was uncomfortably strong. It seemed like sharp needles against the skin.
