Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
The room did not look to be cleaned, the floor obviously had not been swept before it was mopped.The room was extremely hot as the heater in the room would not stop putting out warm air.It was also warm outside, so the fans didn’t do much good as there was no air-conditioning.The lock on the door was frustrating, you had to input the code a minimum of two times before the door would unlock.I had to ask for a new code as my four digit phone number which should’ve worked didn’t.Parking was OK, it would’ve been nice to had unavailable space to lock up my bikes.The location was great.
