The owner greeted me warmly. He. The bed provided a good night's sleep because of its comfortable mattress. Breakfast tasted delicious and arrived hot.
I found the parking limited. I arrived by midday so was able to park at the front of the hotel. The room seemed a bit small. The space felt smaller than expected.

mixed experience, needs improvement

decent varietywarped doorgrimy walls
the provided breakfast was acceptable and offered decent variety.
The bathroom door was warped so force was necessary to open it. I injured my shoulder. the bathroom was generally run down, with grimy walls plus chipped and old fittings. the shower took too long to heat and then only briefly provided warm water.

The bathroom presented several problems. It took a considerable amount of time for the shower water to reach a suitable temperature. its warmth was also short-lived. i also found the general upkeep lacking. Chipped paint marred the walls. the bathroom fittings looked dated.
