Location is convinient

Our room was noisy. With the windows closed and the air conditioning running loudly, the noise of traffic and car horns vibrated in the room. I think we managed to sleep for two hours.

Good place to stay

Good location and many restaurants nearby. Not too quiet, hear street noise. It seems old, but the condition is very good. The bathroom is a little small, and no refrigerator in the room.
