underwhelming stay

strong damp smell unironed bedding
the location was acceptable for exploring the city.
the room smelled heavily of damp, it was quite off-putting. the bedding seemed unironed, and what i thought was a top sheet turned out to be just an empty duvet cover, i noticed stains on it.

sweet escape

early breakfast nice owner good food places comfy room
i really liked that the hotel was near everything, like food places and shops. the owner, jackie, was so nice and she even made breakfast for us super early because we had to leave before it started. she. the room was comfy.
the wifi only worked sometimes while i was there, a little bit frustrating.

poor drainage used toiletries
There were issues with the shower. Water did not drain properly during my shower. I was standing in water quickly. I noticed the shower still had the previous person's razor. used body wash was left behind, so this was disappointing.

a decent stay.

lovely balcony comfortable bed loud noise window lock
the room was nice! we had a balcony, and it was lovely, the bed proved comfortable for my rest. french pressed coffee was available in the morning.
The room grew very noisy at night. it was close to a bar. The window did not lock and exacerbated the noise. i found stairs challenging.
