mediocre stay. some issues need addressing

convenient locationlocked thermostatinconvenient access
the location was convenient, close to public transport.
The room i booked had issues. the thermostat was locked. I couldn't adjust the temperature, so the room felt cold. additionally, accessing fresh air was inconvenient. The windows needed a special key from reception to open. this meant waiting each time i wanted to open a window.
