a stay with some drawbacks

night noisesimple breakfast
i found the sound insulation lacking. I could hear noise from a nearby bar late into the night! it went on until 3:00 am. the breakfast selection was also quite basic. there was no on-site parking, contrary to what was described, and i had to pay a considerable amount for nearby parking.
