The location was really convenient. It was near restaurants and tourist attractions. I appreciated the free unlimited coffee and cookies in the lobby. The staff cleaned the room every day.
The room was pretty dark. Windows looked onto some sort of abyss. I experienced no natural light, hard to see anything. The lights above the bed were either too bright or too dark.
