“Rooms offer the essentials: a bed, bathroom, and, in some cases, wood plank flooring, which is a definite plus. Location is key if you have early commitments nearby, but be aware that some rooms may lack advertised amenities like refrigerators or microwaves. The condition of the bathtub could be a concern, but overall, I'd say it's a reasonable choice if you're not expecting extensive facilities.”
