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.
