comfy bedfriendly stafftidy roombroken acsmall roombright streetlight
the room had a comfy bed and pillows i found it super clean. the staff was really friendly too which i appreciated. i liked how tidy everything was.
the fan or ac didn't work so i had to keep the window open it got stuffy. the room felt small and i could hear noise from the street below all night. a streetlight shone right into my room it was very bright.
