a decent stay

bathroom splashback plenty storage beautiful building dusty tv stand standard breakfast smaller bed
the building was beautiful and had a lot of charm. my room included plenty of storage space near the bed for my things. i appreciated the bathroom splashback, it was a nice touch.
the tv stand in my room had some dust (i noticed it immediately). i wasn't given a choice for breakfast, it was just a standard english breakfast.
