Aquí la diferencia es que si vas al ayuntamiento de un pueblo no tendrás que hacer cola durante hora y media y pasar por un arco detector de metales.

Not only that, but in a small town, most likely the mayor will treat people differently...

In a small town you might meet the mayor occasionally. I have seen the mayor of Valencia a couple of times, but only from a distance when she watches big events from a balcony.

Yes it is the building where the mayor works, but figuratively it may also
mean the local government. Much like in English, we say city hall. It means the building where local government is conducted, but it figuratively means the local government itself.

Well, a 'village hall' is a multi-purpose building in a village for meetings and parties. There would be no local government office there. So it's not really correct. If it has some kind of office in it, then it has to be a Town Hall.

I may be very late about this, but "de pueblo" often has a pejorative meaning to express contempt and underline the "inferiority" of a small town when compared to a big city. The big city is supposed to handle much money, better educated leaders, more access to technology and development, while a small town is usually associated to being poor, underdeveloped, uneducated, etc.
So "ayuntamiento de pueblo" may well refer to the characteristic resource-lacking governmental institutions in a small town.
