missing elevator spoiled food
The absence of an elevator was a major inconvenience. Five flights of stairs are unacceptable. carrying luggage was difficult. the staff's handling of the communal fridge malfunction was unprofessional. All my food spoiled without any apology or assistance. this is not the standard i expect.

Mixed Experience with Some Disappointments

missing elevator towel policy
The location was pretty convenient to the city center.
The lack of an elevator became a real problem because I had to carry my heavy luggage up several flights of stairs. the staff didn't replace towels and I wasn't told about this policy during check-in. Finding out later felt pretty inconvenient.

Listen, the stairs were a problem. There wasn't any lift, so I had to carry all my luggage up several flights. Also the room got pretty stuffy because the air conditioning wasn't working right. Honestly, it didn't cool things down much.

good space comfortable beds great price air conditioning unfriendly staff dining area
the room had good space for suitcases i found the location great it was reasonably priced too. the beds were comfortable there were a few stairs to the front door but it was fine after i got the suitcases up.
there was no air conditioning i was given two floor fans but they did little to cool the room. the staff wasn't very friendly you could only drink water in the dining area not in my room. the water from the cappuccino machine also could not be taken back to the room.
