A Decent Stay Overall

good breakfast friendly concierge poor soundproofing noisy neighbors

The breakfast had good choices, I liked that. The staff was friendly, especially the concierge. He gave useful directions.

The room was not very soundproof, I could hear the people next door. They partied until late and I had to call reception, twice.
