mediocre stay, some issues encountered

convenient locationshower drainfoul odor
the location proved convenient. everything i needed was within a reasonable walking distance, minimizing my reliance on public transportation. the accessibility to nearby amenities was acceptable.
The room's cleanliness was frankly unacceptable. i discovered several hairs, pretty disgusting. the shower drain emitted a foul odor for the duration of my stay. It was a real nuisance and detracted from the overall experience.
