central location helpful staff lukewarm shower steep stairs
The location was central. It made getting around so simple. The staff offered assistance immediately and were always friendly. The room also included a television. Soap was provided.
The shower was only lukewarm. I found that to be quite bothersome. There wasn't a lift, and my room was on the top floor. This made it difficult to carry my luggage. No toothbrush was available. The toilet did not flush properly.
