the location was AMAZING! it was super close to the station and the city center, only a quick walk away. my room had welcome snacks, a comfortable bed, and the heater kept me cozy!!!
the windows needed better sealing! i could hear the road noise, and the walls felt a little thin so sounds from other rooms carried.
