Adequate Room and Location

coffee making facilities comfortable bed bus stop broken tv no breakfast constant noise

The room included tea and coffee making facilities. The bed was comfortable enough. The hotel is near a bus stopwith easy access to the city center. The staff was friendly and helpful during check-in.

The TV in the room did not work. There was no breakfast available, though it was advertised on the website. The noise from the busy road outside was constant.
