really good stay in a central location

helpful staff infused water soap menu
I enjoyed my stay very much. the hotel's location allowed easy exploration of the area with charming restaurants. the staff were very helpful. Jennifer assisted me in planning a day trip. i appreciated the infused water in reception and the soap menu available.
The street outside was noisy. This was disruptive most evenings. the music was dreadfully loud and impacted my stay. the hotel should consider double or triple glazing to reduce the noise.
