a bit run down

endless stairs communal bathroom
I am a little disappointed. the stairs seemed endless especially with my luggage. also, finding parking was a NIGHTMARE as there were hardly any spaces. the lack of an ensuite bathroom was REALLY inconvenient. I had to use a communal one down the hall.
