a good stay!

great location amazing food warm area
the location was great , with my family only 20 minutes away on foot. the food tasted amazing , and the outdoor seating area was warm. free parking was available to the back of the building , which was quite useful.
the coffee cups in my bedroom had a tiny , round handle , so it was difficult to hold when the drink was hot.

Decent Stay with Some Minor Issues

spacious room friendly staff loud music thin walls
The room was really spacious and clean. I especially loved how tidy everything was! The staff were courteous and friendly too. I felt so welcome. The team was amazing!!!
The music was too loud for my taste so I didn't sleep well! I could hear the karaoke from my room, and the volume was high. It was crazy!! the walls seemed quite thin. I could hear my neighbors and all their stuff, if you know what I mean.

The staff were wonderfully friendly and cute. The food and drink selection at the pub downstairs was superb. I experienced a really COMFORTABLE room and a good night's sleep.
The room had some minor issues. There was a crack in the ceiling AS IF there had been a water leak. The wall where the headboard was had bracket fastened to it. It looked like some pictures had been removed. The taps that operated the shower had a loose cover exposing pipes.
