Acceptable central lodging

window dressings easy chairs stuffy room fan reliance
My room had quality window dressings. I found restful easy chairs, a bonus. The bedding felt comfortable. The room was bright and clean.
The windows would not open. I found the room stuffy, so I had to use the fan. The noise outside made it difficult to sleep with open windows

great location clean room blackout curtains weak shower pressure strange smell carpet stains
The location was great, so close to the seafront! the room was clean and the bed linens felt fresh. the blackout curtains really helped keep the room dark at night. I appreciate that feature. the furniture seemed carefully chosen, too.
The shower pressure was quite weak, though. It was hard to get a good wash. the hallway had a strange smell. I couldn't figure out what it was. also, i noticed some stains on the carpet in the room!
