Acceptable Stay with Issues

street noise uncomfortable bed

The room lacked proper soundproofing. Street noise at night was very intrusive and impacted my sleep. The bed was also quite uncomfortable. I could feel the springs. It made restful sleep difficult. the shower head needed descaling. Water did not flow properly.

satisfactory stay

easy check in helpful manager quick process hot room steep staircase traffic noise

check in was easy with helpful managers. i got notified of the process beforehand via text. the staff helped when i needed it. everything was sorted quickly after texting, so staff was really helpful.

the room was too hot. i was right at the top. the staircase was steep and narrow with a low ceiling making it hard to get my bag up there. it was noisy with traffic.

satisfactory lodging experience

easy check-in communicative managers helpful staff worn carpet dated furniture flaking frames

the check-in process felt super easy with managers so communicative. they sent a text in advance to let me know the process. staff helped troubleshoot quickly when i needed help! everything got sorted within two minutes of texting, it was really helpful.

the hallway carpet looked really worn and grubby to me. bedroom furniture seemed dated. window frames showed some flaking.
