slightly underwhelming stay

friendly staffdamp patchesmusic noise
the staff were friendly enough, and the location was acceptable.
i found some issues with the room. there were damp patches on the carpet, and i noticed visible staining. robes were listed as an amenity, but they were absent (it wasn't essential, but still). music from the pub downstairs carried into the room until late, around 10:45pm.
