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.
