friendly staff nice checkout good size late music unsafe key front door
The staff was very friendly. The checkout time was nice. My double room was a good size. The bathroom was also nice and clean.
There was music in the bar until midnight. It kept me awake, so i slept only after midnight. I had to leave the key on a windowledge by the front door because i left very early. This felt unsafe.
