Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
noticeable dampness standing water
The location was convenient for exploring the area.
The room had a noticeable dampness that affected our clothes. The view from the window overlooked a terrace with standing water. This was rather unappealing and detracted from the experience

quirky decor excellent food friendly staff worn linen water absence kitchen noise
I loved the room decor, it was really quirky. the restaurant food was excellent, i enjoyed every meal. the staff were friendly. They really helped.
The bed linen was very worn. It even had a rip on the side. the room lacked fresh water on the second day. I had to ask for some. i found the noise from the kitchen quite loud. It went on late into the night.
