bus stop easing transportation shower hairs surface dust
the location was acceptable. the bus stop was right outside the door, easing transportation.
the room was not adequately cleaned. i found hairs in the shower and dust on the surfaces, something i consider unacceptable in a hotel of this price range. this detracted significantly from the overall experience.
