the breakfast had excellent scrambled eggs. the staff was friendly and cute. lots of parking was available, which i found very convenient (i always appreciate a guaranteed parking spot).
I had to move rooms due to a dreadful humming noise. the noise was quite deafening. i also found the cleanliness lacking. The sheets were stained.

Solid Choice for a Short Stay

friendly staffgood choicegood showertidy place
the staff were friendly and helpful . breakfast offered a good choice, and i especially appreciated the freshly cooked food. the room was generally nice, and the shower was quite good. having a caring person like kate at breakfast.
the bedroom decor felt quite dark, i believe brighter lighting would significantly improve the room's ambience.

helpful staffbigger roomextra pillowsbroken locktemperamental flushnoisy bar
staff were helpful, they gave us a slightly bigger family room because we had a wheelchair user with us. i asked for extra pillows and they brought them right up. the lady on breakfast duty actually brought in muffins the next morning as they had run out the day before.
the bathroom door lock was broken and the toilet flush was temperamental. when i complained to the reception, the guy just shrugged his shoulders. the ground floor room was beside the bar and noisy until quite late (it was a bit annoying).
