decent location, disappointing food

tasteless macaroni cereal bowl

the location was convenient for getting around (i walked everywhere).

The food was a real letdown. My macaroni was pretty tasteless and seemed to swim in white sauce. it also came served in what looked like a breakfast cereal bowl, which just felt weird.

The room faced a noisy street. the window did not fully block the sound. additionally, the shower drain was slow. Water pooled during each shower.
