a pretty average stay, i guess

electric heater broken shower head

the location was okay, i guess. it was close enough to some stuff.

The heating situation was hilarious. a tiny electric heater was supposed to warm the whole place. It did not. and the cold water in the sink? a special touch, really. the shower head was broken too.

clean room nice owner breakfast items central heating electric heater cold water

The room was clean. The owner was nice. I found breakfast items in the fridge, a good surprise. This was more than I expected.

Central heating was out of service. I used a small electric heater with a noisy fan in the living area. There was no heating in the bathroom at all. Only cold water was available at the sink.
