decent stay

spacious room lovely balcony great breakfast cupboard space missing hairdryer minimal decor
i had a lovely beautiful double room. it was spacious with a balcony. the breakfast was great. i liked the area at the front to sit in.
There wasn't much cupboard space. I could've used more. there wasn't a hairdryer in the room. the room decor felt cold and minimal.
