mixed feelings about this stay

reasonable pricedirty roomcoffee stains
the price was reasonable for the location so close to the city center.
my room was not clean. i found a large stone on the floor and the carpet was coming away from the skirting board. there was also a clump of sticky dirt in the bathroom sink plug hole. i saw coffee stains all along the wall by the kettle, i was a little bit disappointed.

A brief respite in the heart of it all

convenient locationuseful deskhot water
I found the location convenient. shops were nearby and easily accessible. the room had a desk. It was useful for catching up on correspondence. high pressure hot water in the bathroom shower was restorative after a long day.
the room was a little dated, but the convenience outweighed this minor imperfection.
