Great location and budget friendly.
Pros:

Location was perfect, walking distance to eateries, pharmacies, convenient stores and shopping mall. Mattress has the right amount of firmness and right pillow height for a good night's sleep.

Cons:

Little insulation, noisy when next door guests are back in their room.

Pros:

De locatie is top. Direct in het centrum en bij de hoofdstraat.

Cons:

Er hing een vieze geur in het hotel. De verf bladderde van de muur af. Al het geluid van buiten was in de kamer te horen. Ik ben vaak wakker geworden.
