noise level shower drain
the staff seemed friendly enough .
the noise levels were quite bothersome on the first floor i could hear every footstep and door slam above me it was distracting especially when i needed to concentrate on work furthermore the shower didn't drain properly which led to flooding in the bathroom it was a real inconvenience after a long day the condition of the chairs left much to be desired.
