Acceptable Stay, Some Noticeable Issues

moldy sealant dated room
The shower definitely needs some work (I mean, really). I spotted moldy sealant. It makes you wonder what else might be lurking. The room felt pretty dated overall. Honestly, the shower room was just plain horrible.

what a find! totally buzzing from this stay!

great location tesco supermarket kind gentleman early check
location rocks. the city center is super close, like a short hop away. i could grab groceries easy because a tesco supermarket was only 7 minutes from there. the staff was so kind. a sweet gentleman checked me in early and a lovely room service lady just. i can't wait to tell my friends all about it.
the curtains aren't blackout curtains, and some light still filters through, just a minor thing.

personal fridge dining spots kind gentleman light blocking dirty shower thin walls
the room had a personal fridge and coffee and tea setup. i found a folder with recommendations for local dining spots. a kind gentleman welcomed me and let me know the room was ready.
the blinds did not block out light. the shower was not clean so i had to stand on a hand towel. walls and roof were thin so i heard other guests.
