The staff provided helpful service . I appreciated the availability of secure indoor bike storage. I found the restaurant to be satisfactory with tasty food. The modern bathroom was also a plus.
I thought the single room was noisy because I could hear every footstep in the stairs. It would be better with proper soundproofing.
