A balanced stay
central locationkitchen facilitiesfrayed carpetdodgy lock
The location was central, close to shops and eateries. Check-in was easy with the provided code. I found the room to be a good size. It also included some useful kitchen facilities like cutlery and crockery.
The carpet on the stairs seemed frayed. I also noticed the lock on the door was dodgy. The windows looked like they could use a clean. The bathroom had few toiletries available.

Convenient Town Stay
central locationsimplified check-incomfortable room
The location was central to everything. Key code entry simplified the check-in process a lot. The room's size was adequate for a comfortable stay, which I appreciated.
The room lacked a bit of sound insulation, so street noise was noticeable at times.

underwhelming visit
central locationsteep stairsmusty smell
location was pretty central, i guess.
The stairs were a nightmare, especially after a long day. i found the lack of a lift very inconvenient. the room had a weird smell to it. Kind of musty and old. i think it needs some airing out.

The bathroom required refurbishment. The toilet seat was chipped and the shower sealant needed replacing. The absence of toiletries was a letdown.
