average stay, some issues

central air conditioning traffic noise

the location was pretty good, with a supermarket conveniently located nearby.

the air conditioning seemed to be centrally controlled, a hassle. i couldn't adjust the temperature in my room, so when it got too hot, the staff suggested i open the window. that wasn't really a solution since opening the window let in all the traffic noise.

black mold slow elevators

The hotel offered free hot drinks! It was a nice touch.

The room felt outdated, and it wasn't clean at all. I noticed black mold on the windows, it was pretty bad. The elevators were also slow. I had to wait a long time.

traffic noise tea bag

I found the air conditioning difficult to adjust. It was either too hot or too cold, quite annoying. opening the window wasn't a great solution because of the constant traffic noise outside. also, on one occasion, a staff member wouldn't give me a tea bag to take to my room after 9:00 pm. Petty. really

spacious room complimentary vending machine luggage shipping

The hotel provided a spacious room and many useful amenities. i especially loved the complimentary drink vending machine. the hotel staff helped ship our luggage to our next stop. This made traveling so much easier.

i found that the room had a slight mildew smell, which triggered my allergies. it seemed to be worse in the bathroom, so i had to wear a mask inside for comfort. extra blankets were not sufficiently available.
