Acceptable Stay

friendly receptionist efficient receptionist noisy room street noise
The receptionist was friendly and very efficient. She was also knowledgeable when I checked in. The restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. I appreciated that.
The room was noisy. It was from the street and internally, as I was above reception. I could hear the conversations below. That was frustrating.

central location easy access excellent breakfast noisy room street noise faulty air conditioning
I appreciated the central location of the hotel. It provided easy access to nearby attractions. The parking facilities were also a significant benefit. I found the breakfast to be excellent.
My room was on the Main Street and it was very noisy. I had difficulty sleeping due to the noise. The air conditioning did not function properly.
