Satisfactory location and helpful staff

public transportation passexcellent pressureopen windowsventilation problem
The hotel enjoys a great location. The staff is friendly and always ready to assist. I was kinda surprised to receive a complimentary public transportation pass. The bathroom received a recent upgrade, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent.
I found that my room overlooked the street. I experienced some noise issues as a result of it. Keeping the windows open proved difficult. I needed ventilation, but the noise was a problem when I opened them.
