small room dusty side
The location was great. Breakfast each morning was a bonus before a busy day.
The room was not good. It was too small for three people. There was nowhere to hang clothes or towels in either the room or the bathroom. This was a major inconvenience. the side tables were not cleaned very well. They were dusty. I expected better attention to detail.
