slippery floor old shower

The location was acceptable, it was next to the DLR Bow Rd station.

The room cleanliness was not great. The shower looked old, and the bathroom floor was very slippery. The shower also lacked a phone. That was annoying. I think a slip mat in the bathroom would do the trick. I almost broke my neck there.

bathroom bonus comfy bed

My room had a fair size. It felt quite peaceful, a nice surprise. i particularly appreciated having my own bathroom. That was a big plus for me. the bed was comfy to.

The carpets had some stains and generally felt a bit unclean. That was somewhat off-putting. i wish the room had felt fresher.
