a functional stay overall
convenient locationgood showerdusty roombroken tv
The location was certainly convenient. The bus stops were only a few steps away. i found the room to be functional with a really good shower. i liked the hot water pressure.
the tv did not work at all. i called but no one came to fix it. i noticed the room was quite dusty. i could see dirty makeup brushes left on the nightstand.

clean roombus accesscomfortable bed
The bed was comfortable. I slept very well. The location has GREAT access to buses that take you right to fountain bridge. It's only a few minutes walk from the nearest bus stop. The room itself was warm and very clean!!!
The main door was unlocked. It didn't feel like a security THREAT.

the room had milk and sugar sachets for tea.
the front door was always left open. a handwritten sign asked guests not to lock it. i was told by other people to be careful as most codes to the guest doors were the same. the room was not sound proof i could hear everyone.

cozy stay near transport
convenient locationquiet parteasy entryawkward shower
i found the location convenient. it was close to bus routes. the neighborhood felt quiet. entering and leaving the place was easy. i appreciated that.
my main issue was the shower head. it faced the wall. this made showering awkward. the television also wasn't plugged in or tuned, so i couldn't use it without an amazon account.
