Mixed Feelings about this Stay

nice selectionsmall roombroken television
The breakfast was good with a nice selection.
The room was small. The shower was a REALLY tight squeeze. The television did not work and staff didn't fix it despite promising to do so twice.

The toilet seat did not properly fit, i spotted this issue. there was no lid on the toilet, that's unhygienic for sure! i also noticed some dirt left on the carpet. It would be great with a bit of cleaning.
