fresh towelsfree parkinglow water pressureloud noise
The breakfast included fresh, white towels that smelled really lovely. There was also plenty of coffee and tea, not just two tea bags like most places. I also had space in the little car park out front. On-street free parking was available as well.
The shower in my bathroom had hot water. It also had very low water pressure. I was woken up possibly about 5 by a woman screaming and alot of arguing.
