acceptable stay overall

clean room comfy bed useful bus stops hot room noisy road useless fan
the room was quite clean. i found the bed to be comfy enough for a short stay. the location is near some bus stops, useful..
the room got quite hot and stuffy. unfortunately, i was on a main road, so i couldn't open the windows because of the noise. the fan provided didn't help much.

helpful board nice cafes
The front desk provided an iron and board (very helpful). The location allowed a fifteen-minute walk into town with some nice cafes along the way.
The room got a bit warm, even though there was a fan already provided.

decent stay overall

clean room ample space powerful shower box room net curtains bin view
The room was clean and well laid out. it had ample space for everything. the shower was really powerful. I found it fantastic. they provided three mugs and lots of tea and coffee, good.
i thought i booked a sweet attic room. instead, i got a ground floor box room with net curtains. the curtains hid the view of the bins. i would have paid more for a better hotel if i knew about this room.
