adequate stay with some drawbacks
chipped furniture loose toilet seat
My room, a 'beautiful double room', had some issues. the furniture looked quite worn with chipped surfaces (it could use an update). i also noticed stains on the carpet, which wasn't very appealing. the shower room felt a bit neglected too. The toilet seat was loose. it's a shame because the hotel has potential.
