spacious roomdeep-fried foodold bed
the room seemed spacious and presented itself well.
The food wasn't great. the breakfast items tasted heavily deep-fried. hash browns, black pudding, and sausages shared this flavor profile. canned mushrooms were discernible. the beds were old. I returned home with a bad back and the windows were nailed shut.
