adequate stay downtown

convenient location coffee facilities fantastic shower urine smell single beds stained towel

the location was really convenient for exploring. i could walk to many attractions easily. the room had tea and coffee making facilities, that was a plus. i thought the shower was really fantastic, actually.

the staircase smelled of stale urine, and it was noticeable. my double bed was actually two singles pushed together. the hand towel had stains on it, which i didn't appreciate.
