Acceptable but With Issues

uncomfortable mattress persistent noise

The location suited my needs for attending a nearby event, offering a walkable distance. I also found the price reasonable for the area.

I found the double bed mattress old and uncomfortable. The sides seemed worn out. Street noise and pub garden sounds made sleeping difficult. The noise continued until quite late.
