The sitting area was fantastic. The staff was helpful. the hotel's location near places to visit was also convenient. the evening meal was delicious. and the breakfast was equally great.
The hand wash was very low. the stairs to the bedroom were steep. This made it difficult for me. i noticed the room was dirty behind the bed.

Balanced Stay with a Few Drawbacks

friendly staffbest showerlong waitnoisy area
The staff were friendly and went beyond my expectations. The shower was great. It was the best shower I have ever experienced.
The service was not great. I booked a table in the main room, away from the noisy area, but had to wait 45 minutes.
