mixed experience at the inn

excessive noise cannabis smell
the staff seemed accommodating, even providing a bike lock up for our bikes.
The room got uncomfortably hot, so i opened the windows, but then i had to shut them because of excessive noise. younger people were drinking outside, shouting, and the smell of cannabis smoke drifted up. This made it hard to relax.
