noisy trafficstuffy room
The room faced the street, it was noisy because of traffic. the room felt stuffy, it was hard to get fresh air in there. the shower drain was slow, water pooled while i showered. also, our bathroom was across the hall, it wasnt convenient. asking for more toilet paper was annoying. They didnt restock it after the first night.

Quiet stay near the hospital

friendly staffspacious roomuseful minifridgecomfortable bed
The staff were indeed very friendly and always ready to help. I found the room spacious and it featured all necessary amenities. A mini-fridge was available (which was very useful). The bed ensured a good night's sleep.
The breakfast i ordered was somewhat disappointing. The bacon wasn't great.
