dusty windowsills moldy shower tile
The location was good as shops, a pub, and a restaurant were nearby.
The room was not as clean as I hoped. The windowsills had a layer of dust. the bathroom looked quite old. I also noticed some mold on the shower tile.

Compact Room with Great Amenities!
compact room small shower room free tea
I was in a single room and I found it compact. It included everything I needed for my short stay. A great little shower room was available in my room, along with a TV. I also had a desk, a chair, and space to hang my clothes. The room even featured a kettle and microwave with tea and coffee!
I noticed a slight musty smell upon my arrival, similar to a room that had not been aired for quite some time.
