adequate stay

mini fridgefresh milkclean bath towelsheating issuetv issueuntidy appearance
the room included a mini fridge. fresh milk, tea, coffee, and a kettle were also available. the staff let me drop my bags off early. the bathroom had plenty of toilet roll and clean bath towels.
the heating did not work. the tv did not work, and there was no remote. the general appearance was untidy and unkept. i thought the place was a building site.

outside noiseuncomfortable pillow
The noise was something else. Other guests were shouting and smoking right outside the front door late into the night. inside, things weren't much better. the single pillow provided offered little comfort. it felt more like a building site than a hotel. plus there were bin bags lying about the landing. I guess they were renovating or something.
