perfect location room decoration small extras

I appreciated the perfect location. It was a brief walk to various restaurants and attractions. The room decoration was great and very comfortable. I also found the additional small extras special.

The public parking at charlotte street nearby cost a WHOPPING twenty-two pounds per night.

mixed experience small room

limited space constant traffic noise

the room felt cramped with little space for luggage this made moving around difficult. also the lack of a reception made check in a bit impersonal. the room faced a busy street so traffic noise was constant throughout the night i wish there had been better soundproofing. housekeeping was minimal with no proper cleaning
