The location was great. It was just beyond the city walls, so it was easy to find. The rooms were also nice (i appreciated the decor). The bed provided great comfort.
The plumbing posed a problem. The toilets smelled bad each day. The shower temperature was challenging to control. I think the bedding could have been better.
