The room was clean! The staff were polite, especially Mike, WHO gave recommendations. A cute cafe is on the corner! A Mexican restaurant is across the road.
The bar was not open ! I wanted a cocktail with my daughter. Paying extra for the car park WAS annoying. I wish the bar opened for Christmas.

Charming Stay with Excellent Service

Mike gave us useful tips for local attractions upon arrival, which I really appreciated. The room was nice and neat, and I found the bed very relaxing. The staff promptly fixed our TV. there is a great Filipino restaurant just up the road.
There were no coffee-making facilities in the room, only a shared microwave on the ground floor. This was a small inconvenience.

The room I booked included a fridge, a great addition! Air conditioning and a fan heater ensured the room temperature suited me well. I found a few local places to eat, I really liked that.
The parking cost was not clear when I booked. I noticed a bad smell in the lobby and the room. The shower head was quite low, this was an issue for me.
