Basic Stay with a Few Issues

easy accessold bed linenworn towels
The hotel had easy access upon arrival.
I booked a 'Double Room', but the bed linen was old and pilled. The towels seemed past their prime. They felt thin and rough. It was more like a boarding house.

convenient locationen-suite bathroomstrong perfume
The location proved convenient for accessing nearby pubs I suppose.
The en-suite bathroom was really cramped. I nearly knocked myself out trying to turn around. Also there was a weird perfume smell in the hallway it was quite strong.
