spacious room bus route good price squeaky bed noisy fridge hand soap
The room was fairly spacious. It had shared bathroom facilities. I appreciated the convenient location south of the city centre along a main bus route. I found breakfast nearby at Earl Grange Café.
The bed was awful. IT was very squeaky. The fridge was noisy, so I unplugged it. THERE was no hand soap, and I had to call for some.

Acceptable Location, Disappointing Room

damp smell brown scum
The location was acceptable and allowed easy access to public transportation.
The room reeked of damp! The protective plastic on the window made the room unbearably hot, with no way to cool it down. Brown scum covered the sink tap. I had to clean it myself before using it. The bathroom door also lacked a lock.
