some issues need addressing

easy accessweak shower pressuredirty carpet
the location provided easy access to nearby shops.
The shower pressure was weak, barely any water came out. the bathroom stayed humid even with the window open, so the towels never dried. the carpet in the room was quite dirty upon arrival. It seemed no one had bothered to vacuum.

staff were indeed friendly. food was quite nice. breakfast specifically, kept me going all day i felt. it was freshly cooked, i noted, and served very hot.
towels from a previous guest were left at the bathroom door when i arrived. there were no coffee cups or tea cups in the room. the shower cubicle felt a little small. i think it might be a squeeze for larger guests.

The breakfast offered a good selection of items.
The shower cubicle was small. During my shower, it flooded significantly, with dirty water coming up from the drain. The carpets in the room was dirty, and the chair was torn and unappealing.
