low shower pressure broken coffee machine

the room was very clean! the staff was friendly.

The shower pressure was very low. the breakfast buffet was often crowded, and i had to wait a long time for a table. also, the in-room coffee machine was broken. I asked for it to be fixed, but it wasn't. the noise from the street at night made it difficult to sleep.

underwhelming experience

warm room non-functional shower

the breakfast was acceptable.

i stayed for two nights. the room was too warm, even though the weather wasn't hot at all. i had to open the window to try and sleep, but the noise from outside kept me awake. plus, the shower didn't work, frustrating.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Shortcomings

room temperature dysfunctional shower

The location was within easy walking distance of key attractions.

The room was too warm for comfortable sleep. Opening the window introduced significant outside noise that disrupted the night. the shower was not functional , quite inconvenient.
