Decent Location, Disappointing Room

convenient locationsmall roomuncomfortable bed
The location was convenient (close to the opera house).
The room I had was not great. It was small and lacked room to move around comfortably. I found the bed quite uncomfortable. It sagged on one side (made it hard to sleep well). The price did not match the quality of the room.
