adequate stay, but some issues noted

good varietythin wallsinconsistent pressure
the breakfast offered a good variety.
The walls seemed quite thin. I could clearly hear conversations from the adjacent room. the noise was disruptive, especially late at night and early in the morning, impacting sleep quality. also, the shower pressure was inconsistent, fluctuating between weak and strong during use. It proved to be an annoyance.

The free parking was helpful. I liked that the room was compact. It had everything I needed for my stay. The room was clean. It was well serviced. Being so close to the city center made it easy to get around.
The hotel did not have a toiletries holder in the bathroom. Screws from a previous holder were visible. There also were no toiletries provided. The bed was too small and uncomfortable. It did not look like the rooms I saw online.
