Acceptable stay near main road

road accesscommon kitchenkitchen equipmenturine smellsticky handlepoor cleaning
The guesthouse sits right off route 1. This made it convienient after driving a long day. The common kitchen had a small fridge, a kettle and a microwave. There were no stoves.
The room smelled strongly of urine. This confirmed a previous review i had read. The bathroom door handle felt sticky and the bathroom was not cleaned well.

I found the self-check-in process convenient. The breakfast options were good (especially the skyr!). There was free access to a kitchen with a kettle, tea, coffee, and a microwave. I appreciated that I could use the kitchen even if I did not buy breakfast.
