The small size of the room was a slight inconvenience. I found limited space for luggage. This might be a problem for travelers with larger bags.

the location was acceptable.

The room was small for what i paid. I felt totally ripped off. the advertised view was only a 'side view' at best, very misleading. the grey carpet had nasty brown stains all over it, and my room wasn't cleaned even once during my three-night stay. the shower was also tiny!
