adequate stay with some noise issues

thin walls early noise
the location was central, convenient for exploring the area.
I found the walls to be quite thin. I could hear the television and conversations from the adjacent room. additionally, the church bells chimed every 15 minutes until midnight and resumed at 7:00 a.m. this made it difficult to fall asleep and caused an early wake-up.

average stay, noise issues

lumpy pillows milk absence
I found ordering breakfast a bit odd. The condiments should come before the food, not after. for example, i got my cereals, but milk wasn't readily available. also, the pillows were saggy and lumpy. They weren't comfortable at all.
