adequate stay with some drawbacks

shared bathroom coin machine

the description implied the bathroom was just outside the room, but it was shared with the entire floor. this resulted in disturbances during the night due to toilet flushing and morning shower access issues. additionally, the coffee machine required $2 coins, and the front desk's willingness to exchange them varied..
