Liked: Central location, friendly staff, practical and organised facilities.

Disliked: The sheets has stains on them. No matter how beautiful colourful sheets are, it is impossible to wash them as properly as white ones coz they lose their colour. Therefore, the smells go away but the stains remain and they are appalling.
