location was okay, some issues inside

convenient locationthick dust layerunclean table
The location was convenient. All the main attractions were within walking distance, i suppose.
The room wasn't as clean as it should have been. I noticed a concerning layer of dust on the headboard and the tv. it looked like someone had spilled food on the table at some point, and nobody bothered to wipe it off. that's just lazy cleaning if you ask me.

The breakfast included a good coffee machine. My husband thought sausages and bacon had good quality.
Customer service disappointed me. Empty cups remained on tables while staff stood idly. I had to request clearing of the table.
