Overall the residence was clean and I found the toilets clean all the time of the day. However my bed sheet wasn't as I found hair that weren't mine.

moldy smell in room,i found hairs on the bed, and there was a large lock of hair by the elevator, like from a cancer patient shedding, the front desk only had one person who could help with directions, the breakfast room was a dirty cafeteria with a moldy smell, overall, you can easily pay $30 extra and stay somewhere much nicer, maybe not in downtown, but easily accessible by train. don't stay here, it will leave you feeling dirty and unable shake that feeling when you leave. gross

A little noisy with doors slamming late at night and early morning. It would be convenient if the power plugs in the room were 3 pin and not 2 to accommodate eg mobile phone charging in the room

The room was very basic with two beds that were very soft and the blanket was more of a bed sheet. We were on the top floor and the noise in the morning from the street was really loud so it would have been a lot worse on a lower floor. However, the free breakfast was great, the staff were really helpful and it was only a 5-10min walk to the downtown area. I was already expecting some of this based on the feedback I\'ve read so you get what you pay for and I would definitely stay here again!
