Acceptable, but some issues

friendly staff arrival greeting small room smoked bacon
The staff greeting was friendly upon arrival, nice.
The room was small. There was nowhere to put all of our clothes. Breakfast included only smoked bacon, which unfortunately made the entire breakfast taste smoked.
