“The clean pod accommodations and acceptable food area provide a baseline experience, though the public bath fell short of expectations; a particularly inconvenient policy imposes fines for pod occupancy during midday hours. Layout issues, such as separating lockers from sleeping areas, added unnecessary complexity to simple routines. For me, these downsides overshadowed any initial positives, resulting in a less-than-ideal stay.”
