Wonderful stay!
clean roomdelicious breakfastfriendly hostssmall chiller
The room was really clean and had everything I needed. The breakfast was delicious with large portions. The hosts allowed me to leave my car to explore the attractions. I found lots of plug sockets and USBs in my quirky room.
The chiller for two bottles of water was very small, I would have preferred bigger.
Dining

Breakfasts here are certainly filling. They provide large portions of good quality food. I especially loved the full-size bottled water. Many hotels give you only a thimble.
Rooms

My room was very cosy and had a comfortable bed. The bathroom facilities are very good. The hosts provided little extras in bathroom like shower gel and body lotion.
Location

The location is amazing. It has walking distance from the attractions. This spot offered easy access and a good base for exploring the area. I really appreciate this great placement.

Easy check in was very much appreciated. They offer private parking outside the building. I had bottled water in my room and felt very comfortable and welcome. Will use this facility again.

funeral home smellworn towels
The room smelled distinctly like a funeral home (i'm not sure what air freshener they use, but it's not working). the en-suite bathroom was a joke. The shower was so small i could barely turn around. there was also no proper place to put toiletries, inconvenient. the towels felt old and worn. overall, the bathroom situation really detracted from the experience.

Adequate stay with issues.
friendly hostsmall shower cubicleworn-out towels
The breakfast was well-prepared and the hosts were friendly.
The room had some significant drawbacks. The shower cubicle was very small (almost unusable for an average-sized adult). I found the towels to be worn out and not of good quality.
