The location was indeed central. My room could use some updating as I saw scuffs on the walls. The furniture was more shabby than chic. The bathroom felt quite small and the sink was tiny.

The room was spacious, GREAT. The breakfast was REALLY delicious, and there were vegetarian options. The location is close to the town centre, easy to get around.

The shower did not have much water pressure for washing. The bathroom sink was VERY small and a little inconvenient. My room could use some decorating as there were scuffs and marks.
