The location proved quite convenient. A bus stop was directly adjacent to the building, a feature I particularly valued. a petrol station was close, as well as a large shopping complex across the street. It offered a varied selection of shops.
I encountered some issues . The bathroom floor had hair on it. I heard a persistent banging against the window throughout the night, which disrupted my sleep. The replacement towel had a visible stain.
