Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

small bathroomunpleasant smell
The bathroom was small and not very functional. I found the lack of space inconvenient. There were also some cleanliness issues in the hallways. The carpets had an unpleasant smell. The location was not ideal since it was far from the city center, so I relied on public transportation often.
