adequate stay with some issues

low pressure thin towels

the bathroom lacked attention to detail. specifically, i found the shower pressure to be quite low. it was difficult to rinse properly. furthermore, the provided towels felt thin and worn. they certainly did not meet my expectations for absorbency.

fantastic stay!

central location shared kitchen free bread

i found the location quite central with free parking nearby, a real plus. the hotel has a shared kitchen and lounge with complimentary milk and bread . my room included a comfy bed and a sofa, i thought it was excellent.

The wifi signal was a bit weak. I hope they improve it soon.

clean room and convenient location

friendly staff live music openable windows central location

I found the staff friendly. They were very helpful throughout my stay. the live music was really good, and i could not hear it from the room. i was able to open the windows to let easy in... a nice feature. the hotel is well-positioned in town, a real advantage.

the bathroom window couldn't be closed completely, and that did let some noise in.

street noise limited breakfast

The location was great for getting around.

The noise from the street at night was terrible. The windows did not block any sound. the breakfast was quite limited. There was no fresh fruit available at all.
