Of the stays on this trip, I was looking forward to this one the most with its friendly, quirky and witty vibe. The experience was a mixed one- the location is great for getting downtown; the room was great, super clean, a huge comfortable bed and quality linen. The bicycle loan was a great perk. Behind the inn they’re building a block with loud works from 7am, they can’t help that but knowing in advance would have allowed me to make other choices.
There was an issue with the toilet in the room, it flushed constantly and the only way to stop it was to put your hand in the cistern and manually close the valve. I reported it to reception who said they would send someone to fix it, they didn’t, I got no feedback or note so had to fix it every flush myself for two days. Whilst the staff were friendly every interaction felt transactional and not in keeping with the vibe I expected. Tons of potential but missed the mark on this occasion.
