convenient locationtown centrereasonable parkingbroken bedshower issueuncomfortable sleep
The location allowed for walking into the town centre. The room was quiet despite the pub downstairs. The parking was reasonably priced close by.
The shower was difficult to operate. I was only able to take a bath. The bed was broken on one side. This made sleeping uncomfortable.
