mixed Feelings about my stay

low lighting street parking
The lighting in the room was surprisingly dim. It was HARD to see. The parking situation was also inconvenient. I was told parking spaces were available, but it was only street parking. THIS was quite disappointing considering it wasn't mentioned upfront.

Great breakfast and perfect location!

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

musty smell dirty 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).
