Acceptable Stay

great location warm breakfast shabby furniture bed frame
The location was very good. It was close to the train station. I found a breakfast that included vegetarian options. The breakfast was warm.
My room may benefit from redecorating because there were scuffs. The furniture looks a bit shabby to me, especifically, the front bed frame.
