Adequate Stay with Some Drawbacks

central location helpful staff breakfast options street noise worn carpets frayed edges
The hotel's location was very central. It made exploring the area quite easy. The staff seemed helpful and polite . Breakfast provided sufficient options, a good start to the day.
My room faced the side street and it got pretty noisy. Sleeping with the window open was not possible due to the traffic. The carpets in the room looked somewhat worn. Some fraying was visible at the edges. This gave an older impression.
