average stay with some downsides
street noise kettle condition
Location was okay. It's a short walk to the town center.
The noise from the street made sleep difficult, earplugs didn't really help. also, the cleanliness was questionable. I found dust in corners and the kettle inside needed a proper scrub. i'm not sure i'd stay again based on these issues.
