pleasant city stay

lovely breakfastconvenient locationfriendly staffstale beer odor

breakfast featured a lovely full english option along with cereal and pastries. the location proved excellent, it was just a short walk into the city center. the staff members were very friendly and always helpful, ready to assist with any questions.

I noticed the corridor had a slight odor of stale beer. The room itself was clean. the windows only opened slightly. It felt a little stuffy. i feel air conditioning would enhance comfort.
