mostly positive stay

great location useful ironing board quick staff thin mattress poor sleep thin walls

the location was great. the room had an iron and ironing board, useful for my clothes. the staff were quick to address a disturbance i saw outside (someone was causing issues).

i found the bed rather uncomfortable, it had a thin mattress with a foam topper. this resulted in a poor night's sleep, leaving me with aches. the walls felt quite thin, and noise was easily audible (it was distracting).

basic breakfast stale bread

the room was clean. the shower was nice.

the breakfast selection disappointed me, as it seemed quite basic. the scrambled eggs were watery. toast was not enjoyable, because the bread available for toasting was stale.
