Estaba cómodo y era funcional para mis necesidades del momento (el aire era muy bueno)

Cons:

Las sábanas son muy delgadas, en ocasiones se escuchaba lo que hablaban en otra habitación y la luz del pasillo se filtra por debajo de la puerta

Pros:

The room was adequate, though not much more; it was clean and the beds were reasonably comfortable.

Cons:

The bathroom was tiny, uncomfortable to maneuver in, particularly for anyone large. We had to ask for blankets and a bath mat.

Pros:

Está ubicado en una Zona céntrica y hay facilidad de desplazamiento hacia otros lugares clave.

Cons:

Las sábanas ya necesitan un cambio. Es un hotel 2 estrellas más que 3. Para alguien que necesita solamente dónde dormir está bien. Pero siempre es necesario tener acceso a otros servicios cuando no están en la habitación, como agua caliente para bebidas, vasos o tazas, o refrigeradora, ya que en las habitaciones solo hay camas y un televisor nada más. Por otro lado el servicio de parqueo que dicen que ofrecen son solamente 3 espacios se uso público frente al hotel que siempre están ocupados, así que la única alternativa es parquear en la calle.
