adequate stay with concerning issues
stained mattress buzzing sound
the location was convenient.
Upon arrival, my room did not match expectations. It required maintenance. the mattress looked old with stains, and the bed linens felt rough. the bathroom emitted a persistent loud buzzing whenever water was used from any source.

mixed experience at the hotel
uncomfortable bed hot water
the location was quite good as it was easy to reach places.
the room had issues specifically the bed it was rather uncomfortable which led to a restless night i also found that the hot water ran out quickly during showers this was inconvenient and disappointing finally the noise from outside made sleep difficult it disrupted what i was hoping would be a calm rest.
