A solid stay close to town

equipped kitchen great size clean room
I found several things to admire . The shared kitchen was fully equipped. It allowed us to easily prepare our meals, that was a great advantage. The communal areas presented great size and provided space to relax. Room was clean and neat.
The chemical smells throughout the building was quite strong. This created a rather unpleasant environment. It would be good, if they fixed it.
