town center ideal location excellent wifi big room dirty staircase papered crack communal toilet
I liked the location near the town center. WiFi was EXCELLENT and fast. My room was big, a pleasant surprise! I appreciate the value for money. It really met my needs.
the staircase was dirty. My room needed some tlc and it had papered over cracks. i think the bare light bulb above the bed was really inadequate. The communal toilet wasn't ideal.
