Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The room was clean and the staff were friendly! You get so much more for the price you pay. Buses and trains were within walking distance as well.
Dirty linens, no working microwave, no exhaust fans for washrooms, toilets only flushed occasionally. Poor/no communication or response to requests to rectify these issues.
