mixed experience, scaffolding and breakfast issues

nice touchnon-adjustable radiatordisappointing breakfast

the receptionist was lovely during check-in and check-out. she gave me water for my onward journey, a nice touch.

My assigned room had scaffolding outside. This was not disclosed beforehand. i discovered the room was ridiculously overheated because of a non-adjustable towel radiator. the cooked breakfast was disappointing (the tomatoes were hard!).
