OK for an overnighter. Road noise and leaking toilet were drawbacks. Host was welcoming.

Too small for three.

Pros: Clean and tidy.
Cons: Soundproofing. Space.
Location: Not far from shops.
Very clean room, though architecturally somewhat dated. Too small for three adults. Lot of truck noise every couple of minutes up to midnight.
