Industrial buildings were very ugly

Stay was fine but horrible location. Very industrial buildings all around, terrible views in every direction. Ghent was having their annual 10 day music fest and therefor NO bus service to this area…very inconvenient and extra unplanned expense having to use uber and taxis 2-3 times a day.

Everything else was perfect. Great room, a lot of place to put personal belongings in the room. However what bothered me the most is that a cleaning lady entered my room in the morning without knocking, and I was changing:(
