The location was really convenient. It was very close to transportation options. the staff were friendly and helpful when i needed assistance with my luggage. the room i had was clean, and it had all the essential items like a hairdryer and toiletries.
My room was in the basement, so there wasn't any natural light coming in. the tv reception was quite poor. I couldn't watch some channels. i could hear noise from the room above. It was disruptive.
