small kettle oat milk
The provided oat milk for tea was a nice touch. A small kettle was included in the room (very useful).
The window blinds did not completely darken the room.

street noise cramped bathroom
The location was good, with many restaurants nearby. The staff was helpful (especially with directions).
My room was quite small. There was minimal space for luggage and the bathroom felt cramped. The street noise was also noticeable, impacting my sleep despite closing the windows.
