An Okay Stay

super clean roomgood bedterrible showerfire alarm

The room was super clean. The bed was very good. The hotel seems to cater mainly for coach trips, a fact I noticed. I also went as a private guest.

The shower was terrible. It was held together with cable ties. The fire alarm in my room went off each morning, a thing I didn't liked. This happened even when I only sprayed deodorant.
