a decent stay overall

great locationgood valuedirty bathroomstained bedsheets
the location was great. it was just what i needed for my trip. the value for the money was good.
i found the bathroom to be dirty upon checking in. the bedsheets also had stains, i noticed immediately. i had to ask the front desk to get our room cleaned since the cleaning staff had already left. this was disappointing.

basic stay with issues

convenient transportationsmall roommissing cleanliness
The hotel's location was fairly close to the transportation options i needed.
Unfortunately, the room I was given did not match the pictures online. It felt smaller than expected for four people. It was also situated right next to the boiler room and elevator, quite noisy (i could hear it all night). cleanliness was an issue because the room was not cleaned at all during my five-day stay, though at least I received fresh towels daily.
