quality food comfortable bed varied beers

The bar food was AMAZING!!! I especially liked the beers available. I stayed in a single room and found the bed comfortable. The chef deserves praise for the quality of the food.

The single room was quite basic.

stale alcohol missing lock

Breakfast service was acceptable.

My room smelled strongly of stale alcohol. I found no locks on the doors. I did not feel secure. I believe an upgrade would greatly benefit this hotel.
