The location was fabulous, right in the city center. I could easily walk to places like La Grande's place! The area had many restaurants and fast food options. It felt safe to walk around, even late at night.

The room decoration was terrible. It felt very depressing and grey, I thought. The room seemed dated and could use an update. The bed was not comfortable. It had rubbish pillows and bed linen.
