A Decent Stay

spacious room functional room old building shower flooding

The location was good with supermarkets nearby. The room was spacious and functional. The bed and water pressure were both good. The large windows let in nice light.

The parking situation was not easy, though the staff tried to manage it? The building and rooms felt old and worn. Power sockets were old, and few worked with modern devices. The shower flooded the bathroom when I used it.
