satisfactory experience

great locationeasy reachparking spaceseparate buildingbroken glassrough towel
the location are great, it was easy to reach from the airport and many good places for meals are a short walk away. i also found it easy to leave. there are many parking spaces are available. the guesthouse had a nice, cozy feeling near the town centre, and everything was kept clean.
we booked two rooms, and we didn't know they would be in separate buildings. there was broken glass on the street. the towels felt very rough.

The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances, very helpful. The location was also convenient. It was close to the main bus station and easy to reach. Staff members were helpful.
The entry to the back of the building was not cute. The towels were old and tattered. The pillows were lumpy-.

the kitchen space was so lovely, it really seemed like the heart of the place. it was so easy to make a simple meal. i found a desk in my room, there was also a laundry service, this saved me a lot of time and kept my trip stress-free.
the sheets had a stain, this worried me a little bit. the pillows felt very old, they seemed like they had seen better days. i also noted constant noise came from inside a cupboard, it went on all day and night and that wasn't so nice.
