mixed feelings about my stay
worn decorfaulty toilet
the building definitely shows its age. my room, a bit of a maze on the fourth floor, overlooked a rather depressing gap in the structure. the decor was generally worn. furthermore, the bathroom toilet seemed to struggle to function properly.

mixed feelings about this hotel
friendly staffthin wallsworn bathroom fixtures
the staff were really friendly and helpful, which i appreciated.
Unfortunately, the room i had, a single room, was quite small. the walls seemed thin. I could hear a lot of noise from the hallway (it was difficult to sleep). also, the bathroom fixtures looked pretty worn.
