Although I wish the room...

Liked: I enjoyed the location it was close to so much. It was walking distance to most of the restaurants that I wanted to visit. The bed was comfortable.
Disliked: I wish the room was a little bigger.It was very compact. The sheets did have stains that looked like they just couldn't come out. They did change them for us.
