The location worked well enough for getting around. It was... acceptable.

The room was quite small. I felt a bit claustrophobic. the shower was also tiny. I struggled to turn around. and the breakfast? oh, the breakfast... it seemed like the ingredients were chosen for their low cost, not their flavour. Such a disappointment.
