The staff was friendly and accommodating! The location is also quite convenient.
I was told there might be some noise because a country and western night was booked, and I accepted that. After the music stopped, a low-level noise persisted throughout the night. I think it was the heating system. It disturbed my sleep. I did not sleep well.
