helpful staffconvenient locationblood staintorn wallpaper
the staff helped me a lot when i needed to go to the hospital (i appreciate this assistance). the location was convenient for traveling since it was near the station.
there was a blood stain on the sheets in my room (this was quite off-putting). the wallpaper was torn, and it had tape holding it together.
