The front desk staff was very hospitable during my check-in. He ensured someone took my luggage to my room. He also provided good recommendations for local attractions. The hotel location was perfect.
The room felt almost like I was in a cellar. The window was level with the pavement and the street. My wife did not feel very comfortable in that room.

The location was good (very convenient for sightseeing). The room included complimentary water.
The room I was assigned felt quite outdated. The furniture seemed worn, and the carpeting looked rather tired. The noise from the street was noticeable, even with the windows closed. I found it difficult to sleep well because of this.
