Liked: Cleanliness

Disliked: Amenities

Mattress, pillows, and duvet were very comfortable. Hot water in shower was good. Wi-Fi worked well. Walkable to downtown and various public transportation options. Property was loud and not nearly as nice looking as in its photos. Room was too warm with no way to adjust temperature. Sink was too small to brush teeth over without hitting my head on the mirror.
