"AC didn't work very well in our room, but it was cool enough that the window was enough. Room was small, but had a huge window to see the city and river. Bathroom was clean and shower was nice. Didn't need a key card to turn on electric. Breakfast was good and they had allergy info available. Location was great, close to bus stops and train station, good restaurants close, and close to most attractions."
