Some issues noted

easy check-instained duvetmoldy shower screens
The check-in process was straightforward due to my pre-registration and the staff were generally cute. The location is definitely a plus.
My room had a major issue. There was a noticeable stain on the duvet. I found mold on the plastic seals of the shower screens in the bathroom (it was pretty disgusting).
