easy access bus lines good vibe bar vibe shower head hard mattress tube station
The bus lines were a short walk away. I found it easy to locate Ubers. They were cute and kind. The vibe in the bar IS good!
The main shower head did not work. I had to use the pull out one. The mattress wasn't hard, and I prefer a FIRM one. The tube station was a short WALK away, though.

Acceptable, but with some concerns
dated facilities noisy bed
The room felt quite outdated. Some of the facilities could really use a refresh (a coat of paint perhaps). The metal bed frame creaked every time I moved. This made getting a good night's sleep a little difficult.
