Cons
All bathrooms are shared facilities
Airport is 5.5 miles away from the property
“The location is prime, near Town Hall station, amidst a lively mix of all-night food and entertainment. Be aware the shared bathrooms lack privacy, and noise from nearby venues can be intense until late. I noted that some rooms are more spacious, but the bare-bones amenities may be best suited for undemanding travelers.”
