Mixed Feelings About This Place
spider webs cramped room
The breakfast was alright, with some acceptable options.
The room felt quite cramped. It was definitely a small double room. The cleanliness was not fantastic either. I noticed spider webs in a few corners of the room. I was disappointed in the value for money I got.
