i was really annoyed the room felt cramped the bed was pushed against the wall. it made getting in and out difficult for my partner she had to climb over me. i found only one chair in what was supposedly a double room it was pretty inconvenient. the staff didn't really try to fix things either i felt they were dismissive of my concerns.

The location was central. I parked the car and didn't need to use it . My room was super clean. The staff were friendly and helpful too.
My room faced the main pedestrian area. There were a few bars nearby and the noise was very audible. I was kept awake two nights because of people shouting outside. The windows barely cut out any noise.
