a decent stay overall

room sizegood sizedecent showerquiet locationbroken door handlebare minimumminimum accoutrementsearly cleaner
the room was a good size and it was clean. the shower worked decently. the hotel is located on the edge of the town centre, it felt quiet. most locations were within walking distance.
the door handle to the bathroom was broken. only the bare minimum of accoutrements are included. i recommend sourcing other accomodation to meet your needs if you're planning on a long stay. the cleaners start early at 8am and disrupt any chance of sleeping in.
