Noisy Stay Overshadows Central Location

loud music better soundproofing
The noise was a problem. Music was loud until after 1 AM. Sleeping wasn't really possible. I think the hotel need better soundproofing or something because it was not good.

Heartfelt Stay

helpful staff ample space dog blanket train station
The staff were helpful. The room offered ample space. I found dog blankets and treats provided, and that was thoughtful. The food seemed homemade, and it tasted lovely. The location proved great near the town center and train station.
The room grew quite warm. I had to shut the windows to reduce noise from outside.
