Excellent stay!

decent stay with some issues

external bathroom missing microwave
Room three had its bathroom located outside the room. This bathroom lacked an external lock. The room also did not include a microwave or mini fridge. i think adding these amenities would greatly improve the room. the lack of a microwave was disappointing for heating up leftovers

strong damp broken blind
the room was quite spacious.
the bathroom had a really strong damp smell and the sink lacked a plug, just a big dirty hole where the plug should be. the bedding wasn't ironed, it was all creased, and the blind was broken so i couldn't close it properly. it was covered in dust. it was also very noisy, i found it difficult to relax.
