comfortable stay near city center
attentive receptionist warm room comfortable beds
the receptionist was very attentive. she went beyond expectations to assist us with directions and recommendations. the room was indeed warm, a welcome respite from the outside weather. beds offered a comfortable night's rest, very crucial for a restful trip.
i found breakfast somewhat lacking. the bread seemed stale, and the limited toast provided was insufficient for our group. a more generous serving would definitely improve the experience .

Nice Stay at this Inn
delicious breakfast nearby parking
Checking in was straightforward. The provided breakfast proved quite delicious. A short walk leads to the main areas.
I noted there wasn't advertised parking. Local car parks is what staff could recommend. A somewhat boisterous pub sat quite near. Noise arose when I opened our window.
