a stay with mixed feelings

thin wall outdated decor

the location was acceptable.

i really don't know where to begin. the walls were so thin , i could hear everything happening in the adjacent rooms. a tv volume dial in the toilet seemed utterly bizarre , and the room decor reminded me of a throwback to the 1980s.

room size great room value money excellent breakfast loud music fire alarm false alarm

my room was bigger than expected. the value for money was excellent. the breakfast was excellent (i especially liked the variety). the staff were polite.

the music from a wedding was quite loud and went on late into the evening. someone pulled the fire alarm later that night. everyone had to go outside into the cold at 3:30 am while the firemen checked the place (it was a false alarm).
