a mixed experience, honestly

acceptable locationmissing soaploose tap
the location was acceptable. it was fine for getting around.
The room lacked basic amenities. there was no soap in the shower. That's pretty annoying. also, the tap in the bathroom was loose and only gave out hot water. i think some attention to details is needed there.

charming stay downtown

I found the staff INCREDIBLY friendly. They allowed us to store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out, it was a HUGE help. The room had a clean aesthetic and included all essential amenities for a comfortable stay. We also received coupons for complimentary coffee and pastry at the café across the road.
The stairs was a bit tricky with luggage, it's something to consider for future visits.

The staff carried my luggage to my room upon arrival. I was also able to leave my luggage before check-in. Vouchers for complimentary coffee and pastry at the coffee shop across the street were provided and I enjoyed it.
The room lacked bedside lighting, so only overhead lighting was available. Windows were not double glazed. The bathroom lacked soap or body wash in the shower, giving it a barebones feel.
