free car parking useful kitchenette ideal location creased linen dirty bathroom leaking tap
The parking was free, and I appreciated that! The room had a kitchenette. It was useful. The location was ideal for visiting the Mayflower Theatre. It was close by.
The linen was creased. I worried about cleanliness. The bathroom looked dirty. It needed an update. There were streak marks on the taps. It bothered me.

basic stay with some downsides

dirty dishes lacking storage
the shared kitchen was not very clean. i noticed some dirty dishes and crumbs left on the counters. also, the small bathroom lacked storage space. there was no shelf for toiletries, quite inconvenient. i had to keep my things on the floor.
