the location was close to walking routes, convenient.
i was asked to pay in cash due to 'unforeseen circumstances' (seemed a bit dodgy, if you ask me). there was no clear explanation for this request.

limited parkingfaulty button
I consider the parking situation to be quite inconvenient. Spaces are limited and maneuvering can be difficult. The room lacked sufficient soundproofing. Noise from adjacent rooms disrupted my sleep. I did notice that the television remote had a faulty button. These issues, while minor, detracted from an otherwise satisfactory visit.
