a good stay

spacious room friendly staff

the room was spacious and warm. the staff were really friendly. i found the city center within a short walk. the location was quite convenient.

more drawer space would be really helpful. the available space felt inadequate for my needs. this would improve the experience significantly.

freshly cooked breakfast convenient location narrow stairs little tlc

The location was close to the town center. the breakfast was freshly cooked. I appreciated that it wasn't a buffet.

the stairs were very narrow! they made it difficult to maneuver with luggage. the room could use a little tlc.
