underwhelming stay
chemical smell minimal ventilation
the shower was acceptable with its decent water pressure.
The room smelled strongly of cleaning chemicals. I suspect they try cover something up with it. ventilation was minimal, and the odour lingered throughout my entire stay. honestly, i was looking forward to check out.

mixed feelings about this accommodation.
dated room paper cups
The staff was friendly. This made arrival a bit easier.
The room felt quite basic and dated. I stayed in a double. the value for money seemed off, considering the kettle came with paper cups. I thought it was a wasteful measure.
