missing fridgestained shower
The absence of a refrigerator in the room was inconvenient. i also found myself wishing for a telephone to contact reception directly, especially since my room faced the main road. The noise was quite bothersome when the windows were open. it wasn't ideal. i also noted that the shower was stained, and the grouting needed a good cleaning.

Acceptable Stay with Room Issues

friendly staffbathroom ceilingnoisy extractor
The staff was friendly and the food tasted good.
The room felt quite basic for the price, similar to a budget hotel. It should have been better equipped. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling, concerning, and the noisy extractor fan ran whenever the bathroom light was on. This made it difficult to leave a light on at night without disturbing my sleep.
