acceptable locationdated roomuncomfortable bed

the location was acceptable though parking incurred additional charges.

The room felt dated. It was also rather small. a shared bathroom was across the hall. This arrangement lacked privacy. the bed was not comfortable. It creaked loudly whenever i moved.
