I stay with St Christopher a lot of days. My first day was amazing . The other room and block over the road was better than room 405 . The shower 🚿 facilities were not clean properly. The matters were uncomfortable, and the services from checking in on my second day when I decided to stay another day was not very welcoming from the girl what checkme in to the sdirty room and broken lockers in room to the guy what cgeck me out . The first night was brilliant, but the second night moving rooms, and the whole stay was not enjoyable at all .
