mixed feelings about my stay
riverside locationold bed linenowners attitude
the location near the river was acceptable.
the bed linen felt old and of poor quality. the room seemed overcrowded because of too much furniture. the owners' attitude left much to be desired, especially concerning the lack of drying facilities for cyclists arriving in wet weather.
