decent breakfastgreat locationchildren friendlinesssewer smellunsealed bathtubimproper cleanliness

the breakfast was decent and offered a good start to the day. the location was great as it was close to the city center. it was also very children friendly and the boys enjoyed playing games in reception.

i found the bathroom smelled strongly of sewer. i tried to fill the bathtub for a bath but it seemed impossible to completely seal it. the toilet was also not properly cleaned.
