I found the check-in process to be straightforward and quick. The single room was sufficiently spacious and clean. I appreciated the availability of bike storage. It was locked, which gave me a sense of security. The staff at the bar were cute and helpful.
The noise isolation from the road could have been better. I could hear quite a bit of traffic.
