Acceptable Stay

big roomeasy transportationdaily makeupbathroom mess
I am happy the room was big. The location is good for transportation since buses are available near. Easy to get to the city center. I was able to leave my luggage before check-in thanks to keylock luggage boxes.
The room did not get made up everyday. This is a problem for a 3-star place like it is! Some trash and cleaning supplies stayed in the hallway, what a mess. A box with the tea and biscuit refills was left on my bathroom floor, so untidy!
