Acceptable Experience

advantageous location beautiful building excellent breakfast no air conditioning noisy area poor sleep
The location was advantageous. Parking outside was possible. The building looked beautiful, inside and out. Breakfast was excellent, I had the vegan option.
I stayed on a Friday and Saturday night. Since the hotel does not have air conditioning, I slept with the windows open. The area was very noisy and people yelled until the morning. I could not sleep well.
