The service was great but there was a bit too much noise coming from the swimming pool at night. Our neighbors in the floor above also got noisy walking all night.

Well this hotel looked interesting and not you cookie cutter hotel when I booked it. It did not disappoint. I could picture it back in the day. Even though there was no elevator, the stairs were very easy to navigate, and considering we were trying to walk a little more it was not an issue. The beds were just a little hard. That’s the only reason I gave it a four Star. Otherwise, we are very happy King‘s inn hotel.
