friendly staffcomfortable bedwhite beddingconfusing parkingnarrow stairsmissing toiletries
I found the staff friendly. Nothing was too much trouble! the room was very clean, and the bed was amazingly comfortable for a really good night's sleep.. i loved the white bedding and towels. breakfast included a nice selection, and the food was quite good.
The parking situation was a bit confusing, as it wasn't clear whether it was free or not. i had to squeeze into the small backyard area, which only had about five or six spaces! my room was on the top floor, and the stairs were quite narrow.. the bathroom lacked toiletries. There wasn't even hand soap provided, just a small bottle of shampoo.

convenient location and friendly staff

great locationon-site parkingfresh breakfastpipe noise
the location is great for walking to the town centre. the hotel offers on-site parking at a competitive price compared to street parking. i found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. the breakfast had a great choice of items all freshly cooked.
the noise from the pipes was quite loud throughout my stay. i suspect it came from other guests using the hot water system. this made it difficult to relax in my room.

The breakfast was just right, and there was plenty to choose from.
The bed was not very comfortable. The pillows were ancient and very flat. There were no toiletries in the bathroom, not even hand soap. Just a tiny bottle of shampoo WAS available. This wasn't ideal, I expected MORE.
