damaged furniture noisy courtyard
I found the room furniture quite damaged. It looked like it had been hit with a hammer. The cracked tops and cheap materials suggested it could not handle normal wear. There was no fan provided despite the heat. Housekeeping only looked once during our four-night stay. The courtyard room was noisy until late and again early in the morning due to staff activity. This made sleeping difficult. There was no parking, so unloading luggage was hard.

The staff were helpful! Breakfast had many options.
The room was quite small. I did not expect that. The noise from the street was noticeable at night. I found it hard to sleep well because of this.
