Clean room

Loved it!

The hotel is really good, located in the middle of Temple University, bus connections on either side. The bed is very soft and comfortable, the room is spacious (bathroom is a little small). The aircon is quite old and is sort of unconventional. Breakfast isn’t provided but there is a cafe within the same building. Additionally, if you scan the QR code in your room you’ll find a list of recommendations; very handy. The reception provides complimentary bottles of water, you just have to ask them. Wifi is good, on day one it kept dropping out but after that it was good. The biggest annoyance I had was the fact that on Expedia it says that laundry service was provided, and so I had organised my itinerary based on that, however it was not offered. Also for some reason there is a lot of light outside the room (probably from the university lights) the block out curtains take out most of it but still quite a lot of light comes through, plus you can hear people talking in the hallway when you’re in your room. Other than those few little things, it’s a decent hotel.

I told front desk to fix electricity and blinds issues. The technician never came.
