Anupom, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in staff were nice, strange things like no contactless available though having to pass card over. Main issue was the room though, I'd stayed at this hotel some years ago and chose it as i had an impression they were a bit nicer - somewhat of a treat. I won't stay again though, the room was tired, decorated poorly (the paint was sorta splashed outside the lines in bathroom, very weird
