the location was really convenient. it offered easy access to the underground. i found the bathroom and shower to be amazing. the waterfall showerhead had great water pressure and temperature control.
the bed was super hard. i really struggled to get to sleep. there was only one big towel and three tiny towels. this was conflicting since me and my partner both needed a big towel.
