comfy bed thoughtful addition

I parked on the driveway. It felt secure. the double room included a comfy bed, and that was important for my rest. a fan was also there, a thoughtful addition given the warm days i experienced. the shower worked well.

The fridge did hum slightly, i had to switch it off at night. It's barely worth a mention though.

dark curtains constant humming

The room faced a busy road, it wasnt ideal. I had no privacy because of badly fitted, dark curtains. Customer parking was right up to the windows, this forced me to keep the curtains closed all day. I even had to switch off the fridge at night because its humming kept me awake. I will not stay here again.
