A Decent Hotel with a Few Hiccups

central location friendly staff ill-fitting linens worn furniture
The hotel's location was definitely a highlight for me. I found it was close to major attractions, a very short walk. The staff was very friendly and helpful . They promptly addressed my requests and provided useful information about the area.
I had some issues with the room upon arrival. The linens did not fit the bed properly and seemed quite worn. It took some time to get the correct linens from the front desk, a hassle. I had to make the bed myself.
