friendly staffsmall roomventilation noise
The staff i interacted with were friendly enough. They did their jobs.
the room i had was quite small and a little depressing. the window faced a wall, so there wasn't much natural light. also, the noise from what i assume was the ventilation system was noticeable and it made it hard to sleep well.

toilet stainsweak pressure
the bathroom wasn't very clean, and that bothered me. i noticed stains on the toilet, and i think it was from people who stayed before me. also, the shower water pressure wasn't strong enough, and it didn't give enough water. i expected better cleaning and a better shower for what i paid.
