"Committed to the bit"

8.0

They sure are committed to the jailhouse aesthetic here lol. It was actually pretty cool to have the informational displays about the history of the jailhouse around. The doors all locked with a code which was neat, no worrying about getting locked out. The kitchen was easy to use and I didn't have any issues with the bathrooms.

The only outlet I could find was on the opposite side of the room so I couldn't sleep with my phone next to the bed. The location is a little further away from the CBD, but convenient for the train station which is nearby.
