Charming Stay Close to Everything

quiet streetcomfortable bedfriendly landladybathroom cleanliness
The room had tea and coffee. I found my room key waiting for me upon arrival. The location on a quiet street was also wonderful. The bed was really comfortable. Melissa answered any questions I had via text promptly. I appreciated the ability to park outside using my blue badge. The landlady was very friendly. The location proved very good for exploring. It was an easy walk to many attractions.
The room was not very clean especially in the bathroom. I noticed lots of dust above the door and around the toilet. There was also black mold and limescale around the shower attachment.

The guest house is near the city center. The walk to the train station is direct. I was able to leave my suitcase following checkout. The main door uses a key code for entry.
The room decor seemed worn. A fresh coat of paint could improve the space. The washbasin had some cracks.
