a decent place for an overnight stay

clean roomhelpful staffbad bedstuffy room
the room was clean, and i liked that very much. the staff seemed helpful when i asked for directions. the pub had great beer also.
the bed was not great. it seemed like two singles pushed together, this affected my sleep. there was no cooling in the room, just a small fan, so it got a little stuffy.
