delicious breakfastsmall roombasement location
The breakfast was yummy so it was definitely worth having.
The room I had was small. It was also in the basement so that was also disappointing. There was noise all night probably from a public area above, I couldn't sleep. No rest for the weary.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Noted

local attractionshard bedroom temperature
The location was acceptable for seeing local attractions.
My room was far too warm, and i found it difficult to regulate the temperature. The bed was also uncomfortably hard. I really struggled to get a good night's sleep (which is pretty annoying). It was like sleeping on a rock, so i didn't sleep well .

i felt welcomed. the bar offered a pleasant experience. the location was near the areas i wanted to explore, yet it maintained a quiet atmosphere. the staff showed friendly, helpful service during my entire stay.
i found the room to be a bit dusty in areas. i noticed the table and the space above the shower vent needed better attention. also, i could clearly hear noises from other rooms, impacting the peace in my own room.
