“The rooms prioritize a firm, comfortable bed and a clean, mold-free bathroom, set in a quiet, less busy location; however, space is extremely limited. Be aware that thin walls and shared kitchen facilities can lead to privacy concerns and awkward interactions. In my opinion, the functional comforts don't quite outweigh the close quarters and potential for disturbances.”
