The room was clean and reasonably priced. The bathroom lacked amenities like a shower cap or other toiletries, but a hairdryer and iron were provided. Wi-Fi was available, and the location was good with many restaurants across the street. However, one area for improvement is the staff smoking in front of the hotel. On the second day, the lobby door was left open, allowing the strong smell of cigarette smoke to fill the room. It was quite bothersome for non-smokers. The hotel should designate a more suitable smoking area, ideally not near the entrance where all guests pass. Besides the strong smell, it also negatively impacts the hotel's image.
