helpful staff great music early noise terrible smell

the staff was happy to help with any question or help i had. it was not fancy but it was great for a place to sleep between site seeing. the restaurant and pub on ground floor had music i enjoyed. good food and great music was available.

the cleaners started banging doors. it was impossible to get a good nights sleep. another significant minus was terrible smell in the bathroom. i had to ask the cleaners to do something about it.
