adequate stay with some issues
rude managerlimited breakfast
I encountered a few problems. the promised dog-free room was not actually dog-free. My wife is severely allergic. i found the manager to be quite rude when i raised this issue. also, breakfast service ended abruptly at 9:30, giving us only 8 minutes when we arrived at 9:22. This was not appreciated.

The staff were accommodating, managing my luggage both before check-in and after check-out. My room included an opening window, a feature I found advantageous for ventilation. The central location offered convenient access to nearby buildings.

the location was acceptable for exploring the area.
The room felt way too warm. the windows did little to block out the noise. A road sweeper at 5 am on sunday morning was not ideal, really ruining what was supposed to be a relaxing few days away
