balanced stay

friendly stafftasty breakfastsmall tvaged hotel
i found the staff super friendly. the room was clean, and breakfast was tasty.. they cleaned the room every day while i explored the city. i liked the outside bar.
i found the tv on the wall very small. due to the lack of a normal table or cabinet by the wall, there was no space for phones or books. the hotel appears aged to me.
