convenient stay
soft bed double beds mini fridge air conditioning
the bed felt soft. it helped me sleep soundly! two double beds provided enough space for two people. the mini fridge and microwave proved quite useful. the air conditioning worked well when i needed it. the location was close to the waterfront. a shell gas station was nearby, a bonus for grabbing snacks.
the staff did not provide information upon check-in. housekeeping never cleaned the room . i had to ask for new towels at the reception.

low water pressure drug addicts
i was a bit disappointed. the water pressure in the shower was almost non-existent. also, i think the location isn't the best because of the drug addicts nearby on nicol street.
