There are better options out there
A bad experience. Our room smelled of drains when we arrived. We got moved…to a delightful room overlooking a car park where there was still a drain smell, although thankfully less bad. Bed was uncomfortable, the apartment not very well provisioned. I’m not sure who this Locke proposition is aimed at, but for a comfortable stay at this price point there are better options.
