convenient bus stop plenty natural light
the bus stop was directly outside, it was very convenient. inside, the room felt spacious and the natural light was plenty. i liked the many storage areas provided as well. each bed had it own night table, that was especially useful.
the bathroom was a very small space. the shower cubicle grout had some mildew. a little more effort with daily maintenance would be nice.

bus stop card payment
The bus stop across from the building made transportation simple. I appreciated that I could pay the driver with my card. It added convenience. The location was good!
The absence of daily tidying was a minor issue. The bed wasn't made and the cups were not cleaned.

not ensuite private bathroom
the bus stop directly outside the hotel was convenient. it made getting around simple, i guess.
my room had this private bathroom, but it was not ensuite. i had to lock my room and go down the hall to unlock the bathroom using a key. it reminded me of performing some kind of quest in the middle of the night, didn't appreciate that.
