central locationbasic hygiene

the location was quite central, with access to nearby attractions..

I found the level of cleanliness unacceptable. The room clearly lacked thorough inspection before my arrival, and this oversight detracted from my overall experience. the presence of old water in the kettle suggested a lapse in basic hygiene standards, which i find quite disappointing. such oversights significantly impact the perceived value and comfort of the stay.
