Good on the average
Pros:

Nice customer care and internet

Cons:

There was no parking and I have to go elsewhere and as well pay for it. The washrooms are too far from my room. I have to walk distances.

It was well-priced compared to other options, but really you get exactly what you pay for
Cons:

There was only central airconditioning, which wasn't able to be adjusted or turned off. The airconditioning in my room made quite a significant sound and gave off a smell but I was told nothing could be done about this

Experiencia exótica de usar um banheiro sem genero.
Pros:

O quarto e as instalaçoes eram limpos.

Cons:

O banheiro e bem grande, mas é compartilhado por vários quartos. Não há diferenciaçao de genero para usar o banheiro coletivo, logo, se uma mulher estiver usando a pia, poderá dividir esse espaço com um homem. Há cabines bem fechadas para o banho, mas as cabines dos vasos sanitários não oferecem muita privacidade. As pessoas sao muito respeitosas, o que torna possivel essa forma de uso.

never again
Pros:

literally nothing

Cons:

the ac was on when it was freezing outside. I asked for more blankets, they didn't have anymore. they offered me towels. My room was dirty, the floor was sticky and there was a large yellow puddle of water near the window. the kitchen was ill equipped - zero cutlery, no plates, the sink was blocked up. The toilets were dirty.
