an experience below expectations

cold temperature faulty tv
The location was acceptable for my needs. It offered reasonable access to the subway.
The room temperature was not adjustable and remained cold. The tv in the room did not function, despite a notice at reception acknowledging this issue. This was disappointing after a long day.

convenient stay near transportation

train station helpful staff friendly receptionist car park deal
the hotel is conveniently close to the train station. reception staff promptly addressed internet issues and stored my bag for a few hours. the lady at the reception was friendly and helpful, managing all customers with ease. a car park adjacent to the hotel offered a reduced rate (i got a 24-hour deal).
i noticed just one teabag in my twin room, and there was only one pancake pillow on each bed.

poor cleanliness insufficient curtains
The room I had was rather basic. The cleanliness was subpar. It COULD have been better. My major complaint is that the curtains failed to block out light completely so the morning sun woke me up early. That wasn't ideal.
