Mixed Experience at the Hotel

good foodsmall roomuncomfortable bed

The hotel was clean and the restaurant food was good.

The room was very small, it felt more like a spare bedroom at a friend's house. The bed was also uncomfortably small. It wasn't suitable for two adults. The hotel was too hot. It took a while to cool down even after we turned off the heating.
