Mixed Stay at Hotel

acceptable locationloud street noisesoft bed
The location was acceptable It was close to attractions.
My room faced the street so the noise levels were rather high. The bed seemed past its prime also soft enough to cause some discomfort. during breakfast one morning there was a distinct shortage of available seating which meant a small wait.
