an adequate stay with issues

damaged blinds awkward chair placement
the location was acceptable, near the park entrance.
The room felt quite outdated. The window blinds were damaged and did not work properly. the placement of the single chair in the bedroom was also in an awkward spot, it seemed like an afterthought. i believe we overpaid for the room. the hotel needs updating.
