friendly staff comfortable room street noise slow wifi

I found the staff very cute and friendly. They upgraded my room to a bigger one. The room was nice and neat. The beds were soft and good, and there was a top TV.

The window in the room let in a lot of street noise. This combined with the light nights made sleeping difficult. The WiFi was also quite slow and unreliable. It was not a great experience.
