vintage decor central location extensive parking

the room was better than i expected, it had a nice vintage decor with chandelier! location was very central. extensive parking was at the back of the hotel. i liked that it had a microwave and fridge in the room, though i didn't use either on this occasion.

i wasn't sure if my bed was freshly made as the linen was quite rumpled! apart from a mug, a small glass and a teaspoon, no other cutlery or china was provided.

Acceptable, but Room for Improvement

rough towels stale smoke

The location was convenient enough.

The room smelled faintly of stale smoke. It was unpleasant. The towels felt thin and rough, and the bed linen seemed worn. The shared bathroom could have been cleaner. There were some hairs in the shower stall.
