the hotel's proximity to the town center was helpful. the beds were also comfortable enough for a short stay. breakfast being self-service was practical. everything needed was available, kept in order.
the room i stayed in felt somewhat dated. the decor seemed like it hadn't been updated in a while. during the night, noise from nearby properties was noticeable. it disrupted my sleep a bit.

The location proved acceptable, offering proximity to the town center.
I found the bed significantly too soft. This contributed to considerable discomfort. The shared bathroom's cleanliness was substandard and did not meet expectations. The noise from the street was excessive. The window looked to offer insufficient insulation.
