Acceptable stay with SOME ISSUES

convenient locationunclean cupsscarce toilet paper
The location is quite convenient. The hotel is easily accessible. This aspect met my basic expectations.
The cleanliness was far from ideal. I noticed the coffee cups were not replaced. The tea bags were not replenished either. toilet paper was scarce. This required me to request more, inconvenient.

The room was a good size. A good selection of tea, coffee and biscuits were available. I found the staff very helpful.
The pillows were a bit flat for me. They were not very comfortable. A stench came from the bathroom into the room and it got worse during the night.
