balanced stay downtown

convenient location easy access afternoon cleaning limited channels wifi issues non-functioning phone
the location proved very useful. i could easily walk to long street and enjoy the nightlife. the market right outside the hotel was also a nice addition. i arranged with housekeeping to clean my room in the afternoon. this was very helpful.
the tv channel selection was limited. this wasn't ideal for times i wanted to relax indoors. i had trouble connecting to the wifi. eventually, i stopped trying. the phone in my room was not working either. i could not reach reception or room service.
