The room was spacious with adequate amenities. I liked the location. Bus stops were very near. Access was easy and the instructions were good. The room was clean, warm, nicely decorated, and comfy.
Keys were not well labelled. Other guests had similar difficulties. The room was not as expected. It was very shabby. I noticed unclean tea, coffee, and sugar jars. One of the twin beds was uncomfortable.
