basic stay near baker street

smoke smell poor shower

the location near baker street was decent.

The room reeked of stale cigarette smoke. I am pretty sure the no smoking rule isn't enforced. the shower barely trickled, and it took forever to get any hot water. the lack of proper soundproofing meant i could hear every conversation and car passing by. Sleep was a challenge.
