the location was quite good with easy access to transportation.
the room's heating system was problematic, with no way to adjust the temperature (i found this frustrating). i had to resort to using the air conditioner to cool down the room, which seemed like a significant waste of energy. the excessive use of disposable plastics during breakfast also bothered me.

the rooftop terrace offered beautiful views.. it really helped me unwind after long days. i found bagels, coffee, and tea always available, a nice touch. the location was excellent, since it was close to subway lines.
my room faced the hallway, and i experienced considerable noise from adjacent rooms and the hallway throughout my stay. the sounds were disruptive, especially at night, which impacted my sleep quality and overall comfort.
