Mediocre Stay, Disappointing Room

small room narrow bed
The location was decent , near the Playhouse.
Room 403 was indeed terrible. It was much too small , even narrow, for two people and a double bed. I really hope I do n't get that room again.

The hotel WAS near the station, about five minutes and so convenient. The reception staff seemed very knowledgeable and helpful. The minibar had complimentary items, and staff replenished them daily.
The breakfast service was a bit SLOW once I ordered, a minor issue really.
