Acceptable, but with a few issues
plenty storagelukewarm waterinedible sausage
The room was spacious, and storage was plenty. It met my basic needs.
The cold water tap in the bathroom barely worked. It dispensed lukewarm water, so making tea was out of the question. The breakfast cost extra, and the sausage was inedible. I felt disappointed with the quality of the food.
