fine breakfasterratic shower temperature
the breakfast was fine, nothing special but acceptable.
The shower temperature was erratic. It kept switching between scalding hot and freezing cold, really annoying (i had to keep jumping out of the way!). this made showering a real chore.

the bus routes into the city were in close proximity. the rooms were simple and well-equipped. i thought the breakfast options provided a good choice (especially the fresh fruit).
the windows desperately needed changing in room 007. they all had failed seals. mould was growing in some places on the inside. the thermostat was locked at 18°c, so it was chilly. i didn't know this was centrally controlled at the front desk until checkout.
