adequate but some issues

unwashed bedsheets simple breakfast
the room i stayed in was quite small and the cleanliness was not great. i saw some hair on the bedsheets and that really bothered me. the breakfast also was simple. i think there are other hotels in the area offering better value, so maybe i would choose differently next time.
