cold bacon uncomfortable sofa bed

The room was clean I guess everything was satisfactory.

The breakfast was a total disaster I have to say the scrambled eggs were watery the bacon was cold and the sausage seemed questionable. The sofa bed was surprisingly uncomfortable the springs were poking through and providing an interesting sleeping experience. The air conditioning barely worked resulting in a rather stuffy night.

good location city center nice size cramped space awkward layout poor air conditioning

The hotel had a good location for accessing the city center. I walked to the center of town easily. The room looked to be a nice size.

The room was like a cramped space. The layout was awkward. Air conditioning didn't work well, and the room became very warm during the night.
