a fair enough stay

big bedbreakfast optionsloud musicfaulty card
my room was nice. i had a big bed, so sleeping there was fine. the breakfast was good, specially they had many options for breakfasts. i appreciate that.
the music was really loud in the pub below. it went on late, and that means, it was difficult for me to sleep. also, my key cards stopped work, so i had to get them fixed.
