a decent stay

comfortable bedloud bass
the room was spacious. it had large, comfortable beds and thick, fluffy towels. the staff were friendly. they were eager to help with check-in and check-out.
the bass from the pub downstairs could be heard quite late. this happened even with the fan on! the person working in the pub who let us in was not happy. the check in was not as described in the email.
