Acceptable stay, with minor issues
quick serviceconstant noisefreezer compressor
The breakfast offered a quick service.
Room 1 had issues. Constant noise and vibrations came from the freezer compressor. It was similar to a Harley starting up. This problem occurred above the freezer, also with its fans.

charming stay
clean roomdelicious breakfastcozy pubvery nice service
The room was clean and a decent size for my needs. breakfast had many options and was delicious. i loved that the hotel has a small pub. It was perfect for a relaxed evening. the staff brought out cheesecake late in the evening when i asked, since i wanted something sweet. the service was very nice.
The stairs to my room were steep. I had to be careful with my luggage.
