Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues

convenient locationawkward bathroommediocre breakfast

The location was convenient, approximately five minutes from the train station.

The bathroom design was awkward. The toilet was separate without a sink (a 1970s-style box (i don't like it)). The bath was difficult to get in and out of for showering and mould surrounded the shower panel. Breakfast was mediocre at best, I was disappointed.
