Acceptable, but with a few issues
street noise insufficient curtains
The staff were friendly and accommodating during check-in, appreciated after a long day of travel
The room size was smaller than I anticipated. The listing made it seem larger. There was also an issue with noise from the street below, preventing restful sleep. The curtains let in too much light too early in the morning. Blackout curtains would have been a welcome addition.
