some issues with the room

chipped flooring sharp corners

the location was convenient. it was near places i wanted to visit.

the room i stayed in had some issues. parts of the flooring were lifted and chipped, exposing sharp corners, it was dangerous, and i nearly tripped, and moisture built up at the base of the walls.

convenient location helpful staff bus stop unstable wifi unusable tv uncomfortable bed

The location was convenient as it was near bus stops. It was also close to the lake. The staff were helpful when i arrived.

The wifi was unstable. This. The double bed seemed like two beds pushed together, and it had an uncomfortable bump in the middle.
