mixed feelings about this hotel

poor air conditioningsmall room
The air conditioning was quite poor. it barely cooled the room. the room was also smaller than i expected. I felt a bit cramped. the bed was too firm for my taste. we loved the location, but the noise at night made it hard to sleep.

The location was quite convenient. It was just a short walk from the train station. The breakfast had good options, and I especially liked the coffee and tea availability in the room!!!
The A/C made too much noise in my room, so I had to turn it off to sleep. TV options were also quite poor. The shower door was broken and could not be closed properly.

The hotel has a very convenient location near the city center. The staff were helpful when I needed assistance. I appreciated the breakfast they offered each morning (it had a good selection).
The air conditioning in my room was not working efficiently. I found that there were no accessible power outlets near the bed. The shower could use a more thorough cleaning. I noticed some minor spots.
