peeling wallpaper dusty en-suite

the check-in was easy, with a friendly lady.

first impression was the hotel looked more dated than it did on the photos. the wallpaper was peeling off. the en-suite needed a good clean, dusty with dead spiders on the floor by the skirting boards.

good choice breakfast choice peeling wallpaper old carpets

The breakfast had a good choice of cereals and juices.

The room felt quite dated! Wallpaper was peeling off, and the carpets looked old. It just wasn't quite the standard I expected.
