The staff were very cute and helpful, ensuring i had everything i needed. The central location made it easy TO explore the town, though the included car park was a great bonus. Breakfast was tasty with quality ingredients. I found it to be a satisfying start to the day.

Adequate Experience

friendly staffcentral locationwater damagebare plaster
The staff were quite friendly. I found the central location allowed me to easily find parking (this was a definite plus).
The room could use some updates. I noticed water damage on the wall, as well as bare plaster, look somewhat tired (I wasn't impressed by the state of the room).
