Good location for a short taxi ride to Kovan hub but a bit of a dive.
Pros:

The bathroom plumbing was leaking and there was a constant drip so I didn’t sleep. The remote didn’t work and there were some seedy people hanging around. Smelt musty and dank

Cons:

A woman approached the counter whilst I was there and asked if she could book by the hour
