easy parking short walk convenient location
the location offered convenient access to nearby museums. restaurants were also a short walk away. i found major attractions were about a 15-30 minute trip. parking was straightforward.
The room lacked perfect sound insulation. I could hear some noise from adjacent rooms, ALTHOUGH, it was very minimal.

noisy stairs restrictive timings
i was a bit disappointed. our room was next to the stairs, i could hear every single person walking up and down. it made relaxing quite difficult. also, the breakfast timings felt very restrictive, it didn't really allow for a lie-in. it was like everything was on a super tight schedule, i wish things were more relaxed.
