the room was a good size and i loved the comfortable bed. the shower room was a nice size too and included a good shower. i appreciated these little comforts.
the breakfast was a bit mean compared to other places i've stayed at. they seemed happy to do extra for more money, though. it felt decor to communal areas is tired, and there's historic water damage on stairs.
