luggage policy early checkout
The location is great for walks around the town.
I found that the policy was not to store luggage . They also wanted to be notified of early check out. I felt that I was an inconvenience when arriving and when checking out. It would have been useful to know about the luggage policy sooner.

mixed feelings about this stay
street noise basic breakfast
I wasn't happy about a few things. first, the noise at night was a problem. i could hear a lot of street noise late into the night. also, the breakfast was very basic. The options were limited, and i found the quality just ok. it wasn't a terrible stay, but these issues did affect my experience.
