not the best experience at this hotel

poor air conditioningsmall bathroom
The air conditioning barely worked. i set it as low as it could go, but the room stayed warm. it made sleeping difficult. I'm sure others have complained too. also, the bathroom was really small. there was barely any space to move around in there. the shower was cramped, and there were not enough toiletries for my stay.

fast check-inconvenient location
Check-in was fast! i could check in earlier, useful. The location was convenient, opposite the railway station, though the parking was expensive.
The room was a little tired with a tiny shower and old furniture, BUT I didn't really mind.
