However, there were some issues with the room being noisy from outside bars and the air ducts making it hard to sleep. The service was great from the staff at the front desk, although it seemed they were distracted at times. The dining experience was friendly and fast, although not included, and the facilities were average. Overall, a mixed experience.

The hotel was a decent choice for the price, offering warm rooms and a fan for comfort during the night. However, the inability to keep windows open was a downside. The location was convenient, and the staff, though not all welcoming, were responsive to resolving issues when needed.
The hotel was on a side street, considerably quieter than my previous stay, but fairly noisy with street noise clearly heard. The room was open and unattended, which could have carried a warning for those unable to step over into the deep bath without assistance. Service was a mix of friendly and helpful encounters, with some instances of staff not being very present. The location was a bit of a mixed bag, with some noisy disturbances but also being ideal for our needs.
