surprisingly comfy stay

friendly staff efficient cleaning public transportation
i appreciated the consistently friendly and efficient cleaning. i felt genuinely comfortable and safe . the hotel's proximity to public transportation, various restaurants, and coffee shops added a lot to my convenience. the surrounding neighborhood presented a beautiful backdrop to my explorations.
I noticed there was no proper ventilation in my room. This led to a small puddle of water appearing on the windowsill, despite the window remaining closed. the dampness affected the walls and even the bedsheets, causing some discomfort throughout the night. i'm worried about potential mold.
