Convenient stay near transport links

convenient locationshort walkcar parkingdead spider
I found the location very convenient with its proximity to transport. The bus and train stations are just a short walk away. I also appreciated having a car parking space right outside the window. This meant I did not need to take my car into town. There was food available just across the street too.
My room was not as clean as I expected. There was a dead spider on the wall when I arrived. Also I saw a twix wrapper on the floor. The bathroom door was difficult to close fully.
