convenient location straightforward process effective communication restricted bathroom non-functional fan missing batteries
The location proved quite convenient. upgrading my room was a straightforward process. the staff communicated effectively before my arrival. I considered that helpful.
The bathroom space seemed restricted. the shower door experienced difficulty opening fully due to the sink's placement. i noted the fan wasn't functional. No batteries were present in the clock.

room cleaning restrictive service
The location was great. It was near the bus station, which suited my travel plans..
I was not impressed with the lack of daily room cleaning. I had to request fresh towels, and i found that quite annoying. also, the breakfast menu online did not match what was actually offered, something i found misleading. room service was only available staying more than three days, which seemed quite restrictive for a short stay like mine.
