Adequate Stay with a Few Drawbacks

central locationeasy walkfree parkinggood breakfastdated roomloose wallpaperinsufficient soundproofing
The location allowed easy walks into the city center. Free parking was a definite plus. Breakfast offered good choices to start the day.
My room felt quite dated and in need of some updates. I noticed loose wallpaper and old windows. I also found the soundproofing to be insufficient.
