Great breakfast and perfect location!

multiple choicescooked mealperfect locationquality bedding
The breakfast included multiple choices. I could order a cooked meal. It also provided cereal, fruit, and yoghurt! The location was perfect. Everything was within walking distance. I appreciated the complimentary shower gel provided in the room. The beds had good quality bedding and pillows.
The radiator valve in the room was broken. I could not turn it down. The window needed to stay fully open.

An Okay Stay, But Some Issues

easy check-inmusty smelldirty curtains
Check-in was straightforward and I was given clear instructions about parking.
The room was not quite what I expected. There was a noticeable musty smell upon entering the building. The net curtains in the room looked a bit dirty, and the general upkeep seemed lacking (I even requested a fan because the room was stuffy).
