The room had a full-sized fridge and a microwave in a large cabinet. The shower room looked fairly new so it was in excellent condition. The staff at reception were very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
The key system wasn't working upon my arrival! though it was resolved later.

The staff were helpful upon my arrival. The location suited my needs for visiting local attractions. I found hot water readily available in the shower.
The carpet showed some dirt in my room. I noticed the window had a defect in the wood. I found the supply of coffee and milk to be insufficient.
