Basic Stay With Some Issues

small room limited storage

The location was good for accessing transportation hubs.

My room was smaller than I anticipated I found the lack of a refrigerator and limited storage space inconvenient I also found that the front desk hours were quite restrictive. This limited the support available I didn't think this offered great value.
