Adequate Stay at the Hotel

varied choices quality fittings excessive noise old window
The breakfast offered a very nice buffet with many choices. I also liked that the room was clean and spacious. The fittings were good quality. The furniture seemed well cared for.
I found that noise levels outside were excessive, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. I could hear people outside until around 3 a.m. I noticed that the windows felt old and draughty. The room seemed not to be attended to properly.
