The free parking was useful. It was the main reason I booked here.

I found that the room wasn't very clean, and the main entrance door was hard to open with the key. Because my room was closest to that door, it was very noisy every time someone opened or closed it at night.

i really did not like that i was asked to collect the keys from another place. there wasn't any mention of this until i called upon arrival. the toilet flush was also really noisy, and the drainage was poor. the shower head was barely hanging on with masking tape. also, there was no hot water from the bathroom tap.
