train station convenient location shopping mall quick self-check infrequent rubbish inadequate shelf basic standards

I found the location quite convenient. It was very close to the train station, about a 6-minute walk. A shopping mall was also nearby. The self check-in at the kiosk in the lobby worked quickly. If I needed help, I could press the 'help' button and a hotel employee came to assist me within 60 seconds.

The rubbish was not taken out regularly . it wasn't done once during my three days. My room lacked a shelf for shirts and underwear, so I had to keep them in my suitcase. I realize it's advertised as a no-frills hotel but basic standards are still expected.
