Fantastic Stay!!!

townhouse rooms friendly pub
The townhouse rooms felt very new and were beautifully presented upon arrival. My room was large, with a nice view of the neighbourhood. It was clean as new. The pub below is quiet and friendly, and the food and beers were excellent!!!
The room's walls seemed paper thin. I could hear noises from neighboring rooms. This made it a little difficult to relax completely.
