decent stay with minor drawbacks

convenient location useful item comfortable bed poor communication cramped room inaccurate description
the location proved convenient to the town centre. the room included useful items such as plates and glasses. the bed was comfortable. (i slept well)
communication before arrival could have been better. the room felt somewhat cramped. the description of the balcony was not accurate. (it was more of a landing)

ideal location clean room cosy room small room self catering facilities car park
The location proved ideal (I enjoyed every minute). It was very close to the town center. The room was clean and quite cosy. Access to restaurants was easy.
I found the room very small. I thought self catering facilities existed, but they did not. Dropping off bags and then driving to the car park was a hassle.
