Acceptable Stay with Noted Issues
acceptable locationnon-functional extractor fanpoor water pressure
The location proved acceptable.
The lack of cleanliness in the bathroom was noticeable. There was a build-up of dirt and the extractor fan did not function (making the room humid after showers). The water pressure was also notably poor.

i came for a short trip and found some great things. the location proved very convenient. i enjoyed the cozy pub downstairs with a varied menu.. it offered many options. staff were helpful throughout my stay.
the absence of an elevator made carrying luggage to the upper floors a bit challenging. i had to manage my heavy suitcase up the stairs. it was a bit tiring after a long day.
