The hotel had a convenient central LOCATION. The building had lovely establishments to visit in the surrounding area. The temperature throughout the building was comfortable.
The bathroom was ice cold. The hotel parking was expensive if one wanted to use their car . some continuous MOTOR sound came from just outside the building. Maybe it was the aircon.
