The room was clean and quiet I found all the needed appliances. The bus stop was right outside so travel was simple. Staff were polite and helpful the bedsheets were clean.
The bathroom door did not stay shut it had no lock and there was no extractor fan in the windowless bathroom. The shower head was defective. There was no separation between the shower and the toilet water went everywhere including under the door and onto the room carpet.

uncomfortable mattressunfriendly chap
The bathroom was quite disappointing. there wasn't a proper shower box, a major inconvenience. the mattress felt uncomfortable. The pillows were too soft. we asked for extra pillows, but they only had one available. also, the person at check-in didn't seem very friendly. He seemed in a rush, despite us arriving during check-in hours.
