a fairly decent stay

central locationfree parkingnice staffweak pressurelimited teabagsold building

the location was quite central. i could reach many places easily. free parking WAS available, so i didn't worry about my car. the staff members i met were nice.

the water pressure in the shower was weak. it made showering difficult. only two teabags were available. i think four would be more appropriate for multiple guests. the building felt old.
