compact stay with issues

poor air conditioning infrequent housekeeping
i will say the staff seemed helpful when i needed something.
the room was just tiny. i nearly tripped over my suitcase trying to get to the bed and the air conditioning barely worked, and it was really hot. plus, housekeeping only comes every other day and i had to ask for new towels.

a decent stay

convenient location modern building faulty air conditioning infrequent cleaning
the location proved quite convenient. i liked the modern building and found the facilities adequate for my needs.
The air conditioning didn't function properly. consequently, the room felt uncomfortably hot . additionally, the room cleaning only happened every two days. That meant i often had to replenish supplies from a basket left in the hallway.

convenient location modern shower bright entrance
i found the location convenient, very close to many transport links. the room i had included a modern shower that provided a strong stream of hot water. the cafe-like entrance was cute and bright, i found it a nice space to relax for a while.
the air conditioning was rather noisy, difficult to sleep soundly. i could hear every time it kicked on and off throughout the night, this impacted my rest and overall experience.
