the location was fantastic, really central.
I was really disappointed with our room. the walls were paper thin. I could hear everything happening in the corridor and in the next room, including conversations. it made it hard to relax or get a good night's sleep. also, the bathroom wasn't very clean. There was some hair in the shower and the sink didn't look like it had been properly scrubbed.
