practical stay near attractions

the location was convenient for seeing local attractions and amenities. the staff was friendly and quickly addressed my questions during check in. i appreciated the room was easy to find and the keys were simple to use. the hotel offered good value given its proximity to the train station.
the walls seemed thin i could hear noises from other rooms during the night. this made it difficult for me to fall asleep early. i did appreciate that it was not the fault of the hotel directly.

Clean and Convenient Stay

coffee selectionconvenient locationfriendly hostelectrical problems
The room provided multiple tea and coffee supplies (more than the usual two cups). I also found the location quite convenient. It was near several amenities. The person who greeted me upon arrival was also friendly and provided helpful information.
The fire alarm went off one morning. It seemed there were electrical problems, and wires were exposed. The exposed wires were then covered with masking tape.
