Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pods are so small I could not get into them and when I asked for a switch to a shared room instead, I had to pay more. Towels were not included and you have to pay extra for a towel. The shower leaked water out to the floor so with a shared room of 4 people showering... You can imagine how flooded the bathroom became. Stepping on dirty soaked towel after washing my body was not ideal. Staff acted like there were out of it and the only thing good about this place was the cafe staff. They were nice and friendly and on top of it. I'm just glad that my roommates were nice.
