Decent City Center Stay

clean decor local produce helpful staff unpleasant smell delayed food cold food
The arrival welcome by staff was nice. Our room had spotlessly clean decor. The breakfast offered tasty local produce, a standout aspect. The staff members were friendly and helpful.
I noticed an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom, it lingered in the room. I contacted reception on day two, they sent someone to assist. It helped slightly, the smell was still there. Food was left at reception for almost an hour.
