good locationbathroom moldthin walls
The location worked well enough. I could walk to the main attractions.
My room was far from excellent, it felt quite dated. the bathroom had some definite issues with mold that i found less than appealing. worst of all, the noise was constant. The walls seemed paper-thin and i could hear everything.
