A Mixed Stay

easy accessunadjustable showermidnight noise
The room was easy to access. The location proved quite convenient.
I found a major issue with the bathroom. The shower temperature could not be adjusted, (it was far too hot!). The noise from a nearby hotel was also a problem. This noise continued well past midnight, made sleeping difficult.
