It was a good place...

Liked: Clean & tidy, surprisingly comfortable beds. It may be on the main road but it was quiet at night.
Disliked: The kitchen was rather basic and the salt shaker empty. The complimentary milk in the fridge was derisory. The handrail on the stairs to our unit was bare metal and unpleasantly cold, what must it be like on snowy days? We were not familiar with the toilet paper dispenser and there was so little paper left in the upper part we went out and bought some more. A designated parking space would have been better.
