Really good Stay!

The room was beautiful, and the bed was GREAT. A fantastic shower was included. I found the parking space to be ample and safe. A small grocery store was just a short, two-minute walk away. A pharmacy was right around the corner.
The room was very clean, however, it was also quite small.

mixed experience with room issues

good breakfastmissing mirrorinsufficient parking
the breakfast was good.
The bathroom lacked heating or a towel rail. the extractor fan stayed on for half an hour after switching off the lights (a minor annoyance, i admit). the bedroom lacked a mirror. i struggled to turn off the radiator. parking was insufficient. I saw two large potholes entering the car park that were impossible to dodge.
