friendly staff excellent breakfast spacious room flat pillows stuffy room difficult parking
The staff were friendly and helpful, they assisted with my bags. breakfast was excellent. I really liked the coffee. my room was clean and spacious, it was a beautiful double room.
The pillows were not the best, they were too flat for me. the room felt very warm and stuffy. I wish the windows opened more. parking was difficult, i ended up parking on the street.

dusty furniture shower temperature fluctuation
the location was acceptable, with proximity to local amenities.
The small double room was not properly prepared for my arrival. I found a significant amount of dust on the furniture. furthermore, the shower temperature fluctuated without warning. It alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold. this. the net curtains was crumpled and old.

fantastic stay!

clean bathroom cosy bar local beer
the room was nice and neat. the bathroom was modern and clean and it featured a nice hot shower. the hotel has a cosy bar area. i found good local beer on tap (it was quite refreshing!).
the complimentary upgrade meant i lost access to a coffee machine, a small disappointment.
