a good haven

generous space friendly staff
the room was presented well with generous space. the modern bathroom felt spacious. i appreciated the fresh cooked breakfast. the breakfast was tasty. the staff were friendly.
the window was propped open with a timber piece. i had trouble removing the timber to close the window. the orange juice tasted like diluted squash instead of fresh juice.

cramped room road noise
The room felt quite cramped. i struggled with the windows. They were difficult to open and close. the noise from the busy main road outside was bothersome. breakfast felt too basic for what i expected.
