reasonable value, small spaces
convenient location helpful staff complimentary coffee limited storage noisy system small room
the location proved convenient (it was close to transportation hubs). the staff was generally helpful. i appreciated the complimentary coffee available each morning. it helped start the day.
the room felt quite small. storage space was limited. the heating system made a lot of noise, and it affected my sleep. (i did bring earplugs).

location good, room not so much
unclean door loud engine
the room was pretty small (a bit of a surprise). the back of the door was not clean at all. there was also this loud engine noise at night, maybe from the heat. it wasn't constant, but it made sleeping a little difficult.
