convenient locationmissing breakfastunclean toilet
The location was QUITE convenient for exploring the area. It was what I expected.
I found several issues that affected my stay, though. The promised cooked breakfast was not available, a disappointment since I was looking forward to it. the cleaning wasn't up to par. There was old, uncleaned sick in the toilet bowl and a stream of water across the bathroom floor. I think the toilet cistern needs some maintenance to fix this.
