The staff were very friendly. The location worked WELL for a gig. My double room was quiet. Parking was available, though a little tight.
The room was clean, but scruffy. I found the inside of the window filthy. The shower and bathroom REALLY left a lot to be desired. I also found that there was no breakfast, though the website advertised a full menu.
