Fairly Comfortable Stay

convenient location decent selection spacious room soundproofing lack dated bathroom vegetarian options
The location was convenient, a short walk to shops. Breakfast offered a decent selection. The room was spacious enough. I found the bed to be fairly comfortable.
My room lacked sufficient soundproofing. Noise from the corridor was noticeable. The bathroom looked somewhat dated. Some fixtures showed wear. I noticed limited vegetarian options at dinner.
