Acceptable Location, Disappointing Room

acceptable locationsmall roomoutdated pictures
The location was definitely acceptable for getting around.
The room was just NOT up to par. It was far smaller than anticipated. The pictures made it look far more updated than it was. It felt cramped, and I paid too much for it.

the hotel enjoyed a very central position. the staff was helpful (especially with directions). i found that clean towels were provided each day.
the room furniture felt quite old fashioned. the shower's hot water sometimes became cold, then too hot. city tax felt annoying as i was already paying for the visit, the hotel, and transport.

The lack of a hairdryer was a major inconvenience. I also found the multiple keys required to be quite annoying. The noise from other guests late at night was excessive. The room felt cramped and outdated. It needs some serious updates.
