Acceptable Stay but Some Issues
small room noisy air vent
The staff were friendly upon arrival.
The room was smaller than expected. An air vent by the window made the room noisy. The view did not match what I saw advertised, quite frustrating.
I found a cute atmosphere. The staff was very friendly. My meals tasted lovely and the comfortable room kept me warm. The bar area created a friendly place with excellent beers.
My room felt a bit smaller than I expected.
