Acceptable Stay with Some Disadvantages
dark room limited window opening
The location of the hotel was good.
The room was quite dark, even during the day. I found the lack of natural light disappointing, especially since the window only opened a tiny bit. This, even with the fan running. I also noted the absence of a microwave despite having an oven. A microwave would have been more useful .
