the location was acceptable. it allowed easy access to nearby attractions.

the room i booked, a beautiful double room, was not properly cleaned. i found a used coffee cup on the balcony, and the carpet looked quite worn. the bathroom bin was also broken, quite annoying. it really detracted from the experience.
