adequate stay with some issues
cold room emergency lights
the location was acceptable, with convenient access to nearby attractions.
the room was quite cold because the radiator didn't work. they did provide a fan heater. the emergency green lights in the room were annoying because they made it hard to get dark, so it wasn't ideal.

the room i was assigned was not up to par. the noise level throughout the night was excessive due to inadequate soundproofing. also, the absence of robes was disappointing considering the price point.
