adequate stay

nespresso machines helpful staff worn room toilet seat

the rooms were a suitable size. each room has nespresso machines. the staff were very kind and also helpful.

the room felt basic and slightly worn (i noticed it right away). there was no proper window, just a small frosted one high up. the toilet seat needed some repair, and so did the toilet roll holder.
