bathroom cleanliness cheap brands
the location allowed an easy walk to town and restaurants.
The room felt overpriced considering the cleanliness of the bathroom. i also found the lack of a cooked breakfast disappointing. The continental options used cheap brands. i was reminded about the check-out time too.
