Satisfactory Central Stay

large selection quick fix

The location was amazing. It was very close to Chapel Bridge and the train station was a short walk. The breakfast included a large selection. I did not leave hungry. I liked that staff quickly addressed the WiFi issue we experienced.

The shower was notably small. Turning around was difficult without bumping into the wall. I found that the lack of air conditioning made the room quite warm during the day.
