alright staffuseless wifiheavy door
the staff seemed alright, i guess.
the wifi situation was excellent in its uselessness. i was given temporary login details, but the internet remained as elusive as a decent cup of coffee in this town. also, the front door was heavy, it was quite the workout every time i wanted to enter. it was like i was competing in a strongman competition just to get inside.

Comfortable Stay

fresh beddingquiet streetquick contact
The bedding felt fresh and of good quality. I also had enough towels. The location is good because it is on a calm street with a beautiful church nearby. The staff contacted me quickly after my departure about a lost item. I appreciated that.
The front door was somewhat heavy. I found it a little difficult to open late at night.

spacious family roomstreet noise
the family room i had was reasonably spacious i suppose.
The main issue was the noise. I could hear everything from the street. it sounded like they were partying right outside my window, and that really wasn't pleasant. i barely slept, not great when you need to be up early.

The staff seemed cute. They were friendly and helpful. The room was large. It also felt spacious with high ceilings and big windows.
The front door seemed heavy. It was hard to open when returning at night. Due to my room position, I heard people returning late. They were noisy as they stumbled to their rooms.
