adequate stay with notable issues

the staff demonstrated a friendly demeanor.
the room i occupied presented some problems. the window did not close fully, this resulted in considerable noise throughout the night. additionally, the shower's temperature control proved inconsistent and difficult to adjust to a comfortable level.
