Cute Stay

ample parking comfortable bed cozy atmosphere
I found the hotel to be very cute, and I appreciated the ample free parking available. The room included a large comfortable bed, ensuring a restful night. Breakfast stood out with its excellent quality. The lounge had a fireplace and a barwith a nice and cozy atmosphere.
The hotel was noisy. I could hear sounds from other rooms, as well as noises in the hallways. This made it difficult to relax fully at times.

creaking floorboards thin walls
the location was close to the town center.
The noise was quite bothersome. I could hear every footstep and conversation from the hallway. the floorboards creaked loudly whenever someone walked past, and the thin walls offered little sound insulation. this made it hard to relax or get a decent night's sleep.

The location was acceptable.
The paint was peeling off the walls. The breakfast was NOT great. The continental buffet had long-life muffins. I also burned my arm on the radiator in the bathroom. It was INSANELY hot.
