Acceptable Stay, Disappointing Room Conditions

broken heater thin walls
The location was convenient for exploring attractions.
My room, a Wee Double, had some issues. The heater was broken on the first day. the walls were paper thin, and I could hear a lot of noise from outside (it was like a DIY AirBNB conversion).

I found the staff very friendly. They provided quick responses to requests. The breakfast was a delight, offering tasty options. The room had elegant decor, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel location allowed easy access to both the city center and more local spots.
The shower temperature fluctuated a little bit, making it tricky to find a consistently hot setting.
