Adequate stay

convenient location fresh sausages maintained room poor signal broken doorbell missing wardrobe
The location was quite convenient, a short walk to local restaurants. My room, a 'King Room', was clean and generally well kept. Breakfast was freshly prepared (the sausages were particularly good).
The tv signal was quite poor, with the picture often breaking up. I also noticed that the front door bell was not working upon my arrival. There was no wardrobe in my room, a surprising omission.
