Solid Stay Close to the Action

quiet overnightfamily roomample towelscute garden
My room was close to the street, but it was quiet overnight. The family room provided plenty of space. I found ample towels, tea, and coffee. The garden was a nice touch.
The bar seemed a bit pricey considering the lack of atmosphere.

mixed feelings about my stay

great locationbasic breakfaststained carpet
the location was alright and not too far from the main attractions.
The room was like a sauna. I could barely open the old windows. the breakfast was quite basic, nothing special, just bread for toast. and to top it off, the carpet had a stain.
