browns brilliance!

great attention friendly staff dog friendly
i stayed in the beautiful double room shower and it blew me away! the room had such great attention to detail! the staff welcomed my dog like royalty, even bringing him a sausage at breakfast. the food at dexter's was very nice! i indulged in both breakfast and dinner and it was good.
the old building did have paper thin walls, i could hear everything upstairs. next time, i will ask for a room away from the bar area.

generally satisfactory stay

good breakfast air conditioning mini fridge many stairs low beams poor lighting
the breakfast had a good selection. the room at the top of the hotel had good air conditioning. there were big towels and a mini fridge also.
there were too many stairs at the hotel, I found low beams in the bedroom, and the lighting was poor. I know the hotel is old though I wasn't aware of the navigation difficulties. I am an older traveller.
