clean room helpful staff great location lumpy pillows creaking floorboards room noise
The room was clean. The hotel is well-positioned for visiting various places. I was able to walk to many locations. The hotel is near cafes and restaurants, so many choices were available for the evening. The staff were helpful.
The pillows were lumpy. I heard floorboards creaking at night. I could hear the person in the next room snoring, too. There was NOISE beyond that.
