Acceptable stopover, but with issues
damp smell freezing showers
The location was easy enough to find.
The room reeked of damp. I found the stench embedded itself into my suitcase's contents, it was dreadful. Showers turned freezing halfway through. Staff acknowledged this happened before, yet they didn't bother check other rooms, how convenient.
