underwhelming stay

central locationstained sheetslimited amenities
the central location was convenient for exploring the area's attractions there.
the room was not as expected i was disappointed to find stained sheets and a view of a wall the lack of breakfast options was also a drawback the room felt quite basic, with limited amenities and little attention to detail it didn't make for a very relaxing experience.
