acceptable stay with some drawbacks

friendly staffdirty carpetsmall towels
the breakfast was fine, the staff was friendly.
the room was quite disappointing! the carpet seemed dirty, and i could hear every conversation from the adjacent room. the bathroom only had a few small towels. asking for more at reception seemed like a hassle, and they were just left on the desk.
