Okay Stay

spacious roomspacious bathroomample parkinghot roomnoisy environmentkitchen smell
The room was spacious. The bathroom was also spacious. There was plenty of car parking available .
The room was very hot despite the radiator being turned off. The room overlooked the kitchen, so it was quite noisy. The kitchen also emitted a bit smelly air when the window was open.
