mixed feelings

room location hot water
The room was located right next to reception! noise traveled straight through it. especially at 7am when breakfast started, it was super annoying. there was no hot water on the second morning, that was frustrating. the creaking throughout the hotel was loud enough to wake us both nights. I assume the heating turned on at 4 or 5am.
