Really good City Stay

clean roomexcellent facilitiesadvantageous locationfaulty light fitting
The room was clean. The facilities provided met all our expectations. The location proved advantageous for accessing various points of interest. Free on-site parking was a definite plus, saving on high local fees.
A light fitting was hanging off the ceiling with exposed wires. This definitely needs addressing. The door handle was also bent and difficult to open. It presented a minor inconvenience. The toilet rocked slightly in the bathroom. This was an additional imperfection.
