great locationlarge roomclose bus stopstrong smellcomplicated systemlong numbers

the location was great. i found the main room big and easy to move around. there was a bus stop just across the road.

the fridge had a strong smell. every time i opened it the smell was bad. the room door system was complicated to use. the combination numbers are long when opening it.
