Decent City Center Stay

clean decorlocal producehelpful staffunpleasant smelldelayed foodcold 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.
