Quiet and Clean Room Outside the Town Centre

The hotel is in a quiet residential area outside the town centre. I found it easy to find and the self check-in process was straightforward. My single room was comfortable and had an en-suite bathroom with a good, hot shower.
I only found three teabags and some milk sachets in the room. This amount proved insufficient for my needs .
