Better than nothing
Pros:

Very clean.

Cons:

Broken microwave, no light at top of stairs where you have to use a key to enter in the dark and because it's literally next to the highway lots of 🚛 overnight.

Cons:

There were no locks or anything on the windows, which made us worry about our belongings, so we didn’t feel comfortable leaving the room for too long.
