adequate stay, but could be better

tired room cramped breakfast
The room definitely showed its age. things felt a little worn, and honestly, for the price, i was expecting a bit more freshness. also, the breakfast being served in the room was a bit cramped. A dedicated breakfast area would have been much better.

basic lodging experience

luggage space pub noise
the location proves handy to nearby spots.
the room lacked space for luggage, i found this inconvenient, and the breakfast setup felt crammed. additionally, the noise from the pub persisted until closing time, disrupting rest. it made for a challenge to unwind and prepare for my travels.

helpful staff room service fabulous shower flat pillows loud noise small space
THE staff was AMAZING and SUPER helpful. I enjoyed breakfast SO much, it was served right in the room. The shower facilities were FABULOUS.
The pillows were REALLY flat, so not the best sleep. The pub being downstairs was a bit NOISY when i was trying to sleep. There was not enough space in the room for my luggage.
