adequate stay near transit
convenient location easy access luggage storage faulty bathroom door limited space thin walls
The location was quite convenient near bus and tram lines. i appreciated the ease of access to various parts of the area. the room included fresh towels daily, which i found very helpful. the staff allowed luggage storage before check-in. This helped me explore unencumbered.
the bathroom door could not be fully closed. i could hear noises clearly through it. there was limited space for hanging towels in the bathroom. the room felt small with low ceilings, a single blanket, and thin walls.
