mixed experience due to some issues

early wake-upprivacy issue
The room i stayed in was next to a cleaning supplies closet. This meant very early wake-up calls were common. moreover, the staff entered my room without knocking first. i found this unacceptable. It happened while i was showering! it compromised my privacy, and i found that quite annoying, honestly.

Okay Location, Some Disappointments

weak acstreet noise
The hotel is indeed in a central location but my stay had some issues. The room was smaller than I expected. The air conditioning was very weak and struggled to cool the space. There was noticeable street noise late into the night so sleep was difficult.
