Fantastic CBD Stay

I found ample storage space in the room. The shower head was GREAT, providing excellent water pressure. The location was ideal, with easy access to various sites. Convenient bus routes and hop-on-hop-off bus services were nearby.
The bathroom sliding door offered minimal soundproofing which reduced privacy slightly.

I was excited about my stay. the location was convenient. It made relaxing difficult. also, my room wasn't cleaned during my entire stay. I had to request fresh towels and even then they didn't arrive until i called again. i think a discount would have been more appropriate than a free item from the cafe
