Charming Stay, Some Bumps

self check incomplimentary beergreat locationlate night music
I like the self check in process. It was smooth, and I got a complimentary beer. The room felt spacious, and all necessary amenities were included. Location is great, near shops, cafes, and a train station across the street.
The noise from a downstairs bar was pretty bad late at night. The music went on past 10 pm on a Sunday. Also the toilet was wobbly, the whole thing moved if I leaned at all.

A handy bar downstairs give you a drink option after a gig. Many shops and cafes are across the street too. I got some nice food recommendations from staff.

Mixed feelings about this stay

acceptable locationslow check-incard payment
The location was acceptable. Many attractions were about a 20-minute walk away.
The self check-in process took over 30 minutes. There was an error that unplugged the system. I took my cousin to the bar in the evening, but they only accepted card payments. I had to cover the entire bill since he had no card.
