mixed feelings about this stay

cramped bathroom dated room
the location proved advantageous as it sat close to main attractions.
I found the room quite dated and in need of some updating. The bathroom was especially cramped and made showering difficult, this was a problem.

red carpet stairs entrance
the location was excellent and it was easy to get everywhere.
I totally understand it is an old place. however, the hotel needs some simple maintenance. The red carpet at the stairs entrance already gives you the tone "oh-oh i made a wrong choice".
