mixed experience with notable issues
cracked grout bathroom refit
the location was ideal, close to the station, sights, and restaurants.
The bathroom in my standard double room was not great. There were cracks in the floor grout. some floor tiles had movement when i walked over them. the bathroom generally needs a refit or at least a cleaning up.
