Acceptable stay
clean room good breakfast selection helpful staff small car park poor soundproofing low water pressure
I found the room clean upon arrival. Breakfast offered a good selection of items. The staff were helpful with directions to local attractions.
The car park was quite small and difficult to maneuver in. The room I stayed in lacked soundproofing. I could hear noise from the street. The shower had low water pressure.
