Excellent Stay near Public Transportation

spacious roompowerful showerlively vibe
The room was spacious. The shower was powerful and provided great value for money. Pub staff were lovely. The vibe in the evening was fun and lively, especially on nights with live music (it was a real treat!).
The walls seemed thin. I could hear people talking at night.

brick wallunreliable wifi
The room faced the back, so the view was of a brick wall, how inspiring. also, the promised wifi seemed to only work when it was like it. I couldn't even load a basic webpage. it wasn't the end of the world. it made planning my day trips more difficult. plus, finding a parking spot nearby was a real headache, i had to circle the block a few times.

early check-inevening eventsbreakfast options
The staff allowed an early check-in. This was very convenient. I found out about the events in the bar for the evening, enabling proper planning. The breakfast had great options.
The bedroom lacked a main light switch, this required using phone lights in the evening.
