Reasonable Value

smooth check-in good shower constant noise thin walls

Check-in was notably smooth. Two young lads assisted with carrying cases upstairs. The room was clean and basic, perfectly suitable for a short stay. The bed offered a comfortable sleep, and the shower worked well.

The constant noise was noticeable because of the hotel's location on a main road. Walls seemed thin, sounds from other guests often carried through.
