pub noise soundproof rooms
the room was clean. and the shower worked well. it was adequate for a short stay.
the noise from the pub downstairs was a real problem. music blared until midnight on both monday and tuesday. i thought the rooms were soundproof but i was wrong. sound carried from both downstairs and upstairs and that was not ideal.

Wonderful Stay

friendly staff secure sheds great location
The staff was friendly, and I appreciate their attentiveness. The location of the hotel was very good. I especially liked the secure bike sheds provided for storing pedal bikes. This was a great feature. I am grateful nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
I think the menu could be better as there was not a great variety of dishes to choose from. When I went into my room, the air conditioning was not working properly. I was moved to another room, but the air con was very poor.
