the location felt so romantic. it was just outside the busy center but i walked easily to shops and restaurants. my room was light, airy, and very clean. staff were helpful and offered suggestions, it was very sweet.

the rooms are not sound proof at all. i heard every sound the neighbor made very loudly in the bedroom. the fridge made so much noise during the night. it was hard for a light sleeper like me.
