basic stay, noise and outdated bathroom
dated bathroom poor soundproofing
The staff was helpful with bicycle storage. I appreciated that.
The bathroom felt very dated. also, the noise from the plumbing was pretty disruptive. Soundproofing between the rooms is not good.

adequate, but some issues
The breakfast was fine. I had no complaints there.
The plumbing was a nightmare. every time someone flushed a toilet, it sounded like a herd of elephants. It was impossible to ignore and disrupted my sleep. not ideal when you're trying to relax, is it?
