mediocre stay, some issues

decent locationdated roomindustrial air conditioning units
The location was decent. Close to the train station was a plus.
The room was like a prison cell. Very dated indeed. there were huge industrial air conditioning units on the roof of the building next door, so i couldn't open the window because of the noise. since there was no air conditioning in the room i was left to slowly roast.
