Acceptable Stay with a Significant Shortcoming

smart bathroomthin walls
The bathroom was very smart and clean. The room also was well appointed. I liked the combination of modern facilities with character features such as the wood paneling.
The room walls are thin. I could hear all of the neighboring rooms noises. The pub also plays very loud music until almost midnight Thursday-Saturday. There was no chance for an early night on those days.

Fantastic Find Above a Cozy Pub

nice viewimmaculate roomgreat atmospherefriendly staff
I always appreciate a hotel that pays attention to detail. The room had a nice view of the neighborhood and it was looked super fresh. The pub downstairs provided a great atmosphere and served excellent food. Staff were friendly and helpful and they always had a smile.
The corridors could use better soundproofing, as noise from other guests was noticeable at times.
