a satisfactory stay overall
convenient busbus stopfriendly staffstaff membervery cleanstained toiletshower waterwater traybroken toilettoilet seat
i found the bus stop very convenient. it was located directly outside the hotel. the staff let us keep our suitcase there until we were ready to depart. everything was clean too.
During my three-night stay, i am unsure if the room was actually cleaned. the toilet was stained and wasn't cleaned, even after i reported it. the water in the shower tray also remained high. About 3 cm.

Average stay. Some issues noticed
thin wallsmediocre breakfast
I noticed that the walls are REALLY thin. I could clearly hear conversations next door, which disrupted my sleep. The breakfast was mediocre at best. Most of the bread was gone by 8:30 AM, and the cooked food seemed greasy, like school dinners.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay
convenient locationlimited breakfast optionsdetached staff
The location proved convenient with easy access to local amenities.
The room size was a notable issue. It felt cramped. Breakfast disappointed, with limited options and unimpressive quality.. The staff were somewhat detached, failing to provide basic information or assistance during checkout.

I liked the decor a lot. It's close to University Parks. I took an easy bus ride into the city center.
There weren't enough pillows provided. I had to ask for more teabags.
