Underwhelming stay. Some issues

friendly staffworn mattress
the staff seemed friendly enough, so i will give them that.
This meant i had to carry my luggage up several flights of stairs. the room was also quite sparse. The mattress felt old because i could feel the springs. the bar closed early on saturday, so i missed my nightcap.
