stained carpets temporary kitchen
The room was very clean and breakfast was delicious.
I was quite disappointed upon arrival. The route to my room involved stepping over large pipes from a temporary kitchen. The room was small and had cobwebs and badly stained carpets. I found no way to adjust the temperature and the room felt very hot.
