the ensuite included both a bath and a shower. all necessary facilities were available. the hotel's location was convenient, close to the city centre and a nearby convenience store.
the reception area felt somewhat like a prison with its toughened glass. rooms seemed unclean with brown stains visible on the ceiling. the carpet also looked dirty. old mattresses and various items were stacked in the hallways.
