Vintage Charm and Cute Staff

calming musichotel paintingsefficient heaterthin walls
I appreciated the calming music playing in both the reception area and the breakfast room. Paintings adorned the corridors and my room. This attention to detail suggested the staff valued the appearance of the hotel. The room heater worked efficiently, and I enjoyed the ample tea and coffee.
The walls seemed thin, and I could hear other guests in the corridor and in their rooms. I found this disruptive, particularly late at night and early in the morning. Better sound insulation would definitely enhance the stay.
