Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

nice atmospheresqueaky floorboardsuninterested staff
The building had a nice atmosphere in the pub area.
The room was noisy. Squeaky floorboards made it impossible to ignore other guests using the stairs. Breakfast was disappointing on one morning. The staff seemed uninterested when I expressed my concerns about it.
