the room had fresh, clean linen, toiletries, and tea and coffee making facilities. checking out was quick and easy. the price was fantastic. i found the room to be modest but clean and well appointed.
i could feel every spring on the mattress. there was no sink plug or bath plug available for use. i don't like having to boil a kettle on the carpet. you have to expect some noise in a pub setting.
