Acceptable Location, Some Issues

decent locationcramped showernon-functional heater

The location was pretty decent and handy for visiting nearby coffee shops.

The bathroom heater did not work, so it was very cold when going to shower. (Bring a thick pajama if you are visiting in the winter). The toilet and shower were also very cramped, a surprise to be sure.

Acceptable Location, Noticeable Issues

convenient accessweak powerpaint smell

The location was acceptable, with convenient access to bus stops.

The shower was not clean, and water pressure was quite weak. I also noticed a strong smell of paint throughout the building (this has apparently been a recurring issue, based on other reviews). No toilet brush was provided in the bathroom.
