dirty floor flooded bathroom
the location was acceptable for getting public transport.
the cleanliness was a HUGE issue. the floor had a layer of dust, so my feet quickly turned black after walking barefoot. also, water leaked from the shower, resulting in a flooded bathroom.

clean room tea good breakfast thin wall laminate floor noise
The room was clean and had everything it needed. It had coffee and tea provided, i was charmed. breakfast was very good, i enjoyed the variety of options. the location was near restaurants. It was also near stores and public transport.
The walls felt thin. I could hear the people in the adjoining room. the room had laminate floors. i had to say something to the front desk about the noise. It was not ideal.
