a stay with issues

small window nonexistent wi-fi
the room felt quite stuffy, especially with only a small window facing the car park. i really expected better air circulation. also, the wi-fi was completely nonexistent , frustrating since i needed to do some work. it made things unnecessarily difficult, i think.

Acceptable stay with issues

confusing check-in uncomfortable bed
The room had a good-sized television, which worked well.
The self-check-in process was confusing when i arrived. I had trouble seeing how to enter because it was very dark (i did eventually figure it out with help over the phone). The bed was uncomfortable. i found no clear indication of where to park my car.
