An Acceptable Stay With a Few Hitches

noisy roomfrozen sausage
The room was okay. It was a bit noisy. I couldn't figure out if the noise came from pipes or a ventilation system. The bathroom wasn't as clean as I hoped. There was mould around the taps. Breakfast could have been better. I wanted locally sourced ingredients but got a frozen sausage, naturally.

Charming Getaway!

My room had a bath and a separate shower (what a treat!). I found the bed supremely comfortable. The curtains offered excellent blackout for undisturbed sleep. There was ample parking behind the building.
The room was ever so slightly noisy because of ventilation pipes.
