helpful staffworn-out mattressconstant noise
The staff was indeed friendly and helpful. I'll give them that.
The room I got was awful. The mattress felt completely worn out. I could feel the springs digging into my back all night. the noise was constant. I could hear everything from the hallway. I'm not sure how anyone could relax in that room.

good breakfast selectionfriendly staffclean roomuncomfortable bedthin wallsbathroom smell
the breakfast was nice with a good selection. the staff was friendly enough and helpful when i needed something. my room was clean when i arrived and had all the basic amenities i needed.
the bed wasn't very comfortable i must admit. the walls seemed pretty thin because i could hear noise from the room next to mine. there was also a strange smell in the bathroom, maybe from a blocked drain or something.
