tidy rooms hot shower tea coffee cold room dusty fan radiator issue
the room was clean and tidy, like a little love nest ready for a peaceful stay. i find the shower hot, just what i needed after a long day. tea and coffee were available, small touches that warms your heart.
the room felt a little cold despite the radiator being on, it wasn't as warm as a loving embrace. i did notice some cobwebs, like forgotten memories in the corners. the extractor fan looked a bit dusty, a small imperfection in an otherwise lovely space.

basic stay with some drawbacks

lack of staff poor mattress
The lack of staff was noticeable, and i found it difficult to get assistance when needed. There was no one available to address my questions! the room itself felt a bit neglected. i noticed some wear and tear that could use some attention. the bed was not very comfortable and a poor mattress impacted my sleep, unfortunately.
