central location good air conditioning confusing check-in daily housekeeping

the location was quite central. it was easy to find nearby restaurants (and some nice pubs). the room was spacious and had good air conditioning.

the check-in process was a bit confusing for me. i also found that there wasn't daily housekeeping which i was expecting. (maybe it's just me!)
