Charming Stay Among Friendly Faces

quiet streethelpful staffgood foodcomfy bed
The location is a dream, a quiet street, with the St Garmon Church directly across. The staff were helpful. I could always ask for what I needed. The food tasted very good, with enough options for everyone. Beds are comfortable, I sink into a cozy sleep each night.
The shower fluctuated from hot to cold, I found that annoying.
